  • Patent number: 11097131
    Abstract: A probe for treating an ocular pathology. The probe has a ring including a cone frustum having a first end suitable for supporting an ultrasound generator and a second end for coming into contact with an eye of a patient. The ultrasound generator includes a first base intended to come to face the first end, and a second base opposite the first base. The probe further includes a flow regulator for eliminating the bubbles contained in a coupling fluid flowing to the first base when filling the probe with the fluid.

  • Patent number: 10695798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a treatment probe comprising at least one cylindrical transducer for generating high-intensity focused ultrasound in a target focus point, the probe being designed to be electrically connected to a power supply source for supplying an electrical signal for the power supply of the transducer, characterised in that the method comprises a step (20) of adjusting a frequency of the electrical signal for the power supply of the transducer in such a way that the variation between the maximum vibration intensity and the minimum vibration intensity of the transducer along the width thereof is minimal.
