  • Patent number: 5211625
    Abstract: An ultrasonic treatment apparatus comprises a hand piece, and an RF power supply unit. The hand piece includes vibrator cover, a sheath connected thereto, a hollow cylindrical member, an ultrasonic vibrator in the cover for generating ultrasonic vibrations, a probe arranged in the sheath, for externally transmitting ultrasonic vibrations generated by the vibrator, and a cord for transmitting a high-frequency current from the RF power supply unit to the probe. The cover and sheath are composed of an insulating member, for preventing the high-frequency current transmitted by the probe from being externally leaked.

  • Patent number: 5163433
    Abstract: An ultrasound type treatment apparatus includes an inner sheath covering an ultrasonic transmission member having a first suction passage and defining a space relative to the ultrasound transmission member and an outer sheath covering the inner sheath and defining a space relative to the inner sheath. In the treatment apparatus, a liquid medium supply passage is provided at one of the space between the ultrasound transmission member and the inner sheath and space between the inner sheet and the outer sheet to supply a liquid medium to the distal end of the ultrasound transmission member. A second suction passage is formed at the other of the space between the ultrasound transmission means and the inner sheath and space between the inner sheath and the outer sheath. The first suction passage is connected by a suction tube to the second suction passage.

  • Patent number: 5076276
    Abstract: An ultrasound type treatment apparatus includes an ultrasonic oscillation device for outputting an ultrasonic oscillation wave, a drive circuit for driving the ultrasonic oscillation device, a probe connected to the ultrasonic oscillation device to transmit that ultrasonic oscillation wave to an affected region of interest of a human being, a sheath formed around the probe, through which cooling medium is passed and a supply tank for supplying cooling medium to the sheath. In this treatment apparatus, an arithmetic operation circuit monitors a drive state of the ultrasonic oscillation device, a comparator is provided for receiving monitor information from the arithmetic operation circuit and for determining whether or not the supply of cooling medium to the sheath is normal and a controller is provided for stopping a drive of the ultrasonic oscillation device when the supply of the cooling medium is determined by the comparator as being not normal.
