Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for treatment of an ocular pathology, the device comprising at least one eye ring wherein the proximal end of said eye ring is suitable to be applied onto the globe and means to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring, said means to generate ultrasound beam presenting a concave segment shape conformed along a single curvature corresponding to a single direction wherein the concavity is designed to be tuned towards the eyeglobe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for treating an ocular pathology, including a ring (1) comprising a proximal end intended to be in contact with an eye of a patient, and a distal end intended to receive ultrasound generating means (2), wherein the device additionally includes at least one reflector (3) for reflecting and focusing ultrasound generated by the generation means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a probe that comprises a piezoelectric therapy transducer having an acoustic axis BB?, and an imaging transducer having an imaging plane, in which the therapy transducer and imaging transducer are mounted in a head which is itself connected to a guide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the treatment of a brain affection, which comprises at least one implantable generator (4) made of non-ferromagnetic material comprising a casing (7), an ultrasound generating treating device (11) positioned into said casing to induce brain affection treatment by emission of ultrasound waves, and means for fastening the implantable casing into the skull. The apparatus further comprises a power controller (PwC) to supply electricity to the treating device of the implantable generator and to set and control its working parameters, and connecting means (6) to connect the power controller and the treating device of the implantable generator. A method for treating a brain affection with such an apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for treatment of an ocular pathology characterized in that it comprises at least one eye ring (1) wherein the proximal end of said eye ring (1) is suitable to he applied onto the globe and means (2,17) to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (1), said means to generate ultrasound beam presenting a concave segment shape conformed along a single curvature corresponding to a single direction wherein the concavity is designed to be tuned towards the eyeglobe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating an ocular pathology by generating high intensity focused ultrasound onto at least one eye's area, said method comprises at least the following steps of: —positioning onto the eye a device capable of directing high intensity focused ultrasound onto at least one annular segment, —and generating high intensity focused ultrasound energy onto said segment to treat at least one annular segment in the eye. Another embodiment of the invention concerns a device for treatment of an ocular pathology comprising at least one eye ring (1) wherein the proximal end of said eye ring (1) is suitable to be applied onto the globe and circular means (2,17) to generate ultrasound beam fixed on the distal end of the eye ring (1) capable of treating the whole circumference of the eye in one step.

Abstract: An ultrasound applicator for heating, via an internal path, an ultrasound absorbent medium, includes an application head having a longitudinal axis and including at least one ultrasonic transducer having a planar emission face and an opposite face, a leakproof membrane which overlays and is spaced from the emission face, and which is transparent to ultrasound, and means for preventing propagation of ultrasound from the opposite face; means for remotely connecting the transducer to an electricity generator; and means for providing ultrasound coupling with the membrane. The planar emission face emits ultrasound waves through the membrane and in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the emission face, such that the waves emitted are substantially planar and do not diverge in the vicinity of the transducer and the application head.
