Abstract: There is disclosed an electrode array architecture employing continuous and discontinuous circumferential electrodes. There is further disclosed a process for the neutralization of acid generated at anode(s) by base generated at cathode(s) circumferentially located to each other so as to confine a region of pH change. The cathodes can be displayed as concentric rings (continuous) or as counter electrodes in a cross pattern (discontinuous). In this way reagents, such as acid, generated in a center electrode are countered (neutralized) by reagents, such as base, generated at the corners or at the outer ring.

Abstract: In vivo biocompatible hydrogels to couple and transmit high intensity ultrasound for hemostasis and ablation during surgery, the hydrogels having 4-40 wt. % of a polymer comprising acrylates and the balance water. A group of hydrogels based on cross-linked methacrylate one of which is polyethyleneglycol methacrylate, can form rigid, low acoustic attenuation coupling members and are in vivo biocompatible. These coupling members consist of hydrogel formulations having mechanical and acoustic properties such that ultrasound transmission standoff members of various dimensions and structural configurations function as efficient ultrasound transmission media and devices within which the ultrasound beam can be transferred to a focal point at the end of the standoff or in close proximity to it.
