Patent number: 7579555Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface constructed from RF shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene, which back surface faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area. A portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed from material transmissive to RF radiation from the applicator. Securing means, such as adhesive strips, or interlocking edges close an open end to secure the applicator inside the cover and to prevent RF radiation through the closed end. In use, an applicator is inserted within the cover and positioned over the area to be treated with the RF transmissive material overlying the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R.

Patent number: 7572985Abstract: A disposable cover for electromagnetic treatment applicators prevents undesired exposure to potentially harmful radiation. The cover is a pouch-like structure having a back surface constructed from shielding material, such as metallized polyethylene, which back surface faces opposite, or away from, the treatment area. At least a portion of the cover which faces the treatment area is constructed solely from RF non-shielding material. Securing means, such as adhesive strips, or interlocking edges, secure the applicator inside the cover and close off any leaks. The electromagnetic properties of the cover are integrated into the circuitry for the treatment applicator, such that the applicator is not functional in the absence of the cover. In use, an electromagnetic treatment applicator is inserted into the cover and positioned over the area to be treated with the non-shielding portion or window of the cover overlying the treatment area.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Regenesis Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Frank R.
