Abstract
A device for cooling the skin tissue of a patient during a procedure using energy includes a mat-like structure, the mat-like structure having a bottom wall, a top wall and upstanding walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the walls defining an enclosed volume; it also includes one or more electrodes positioned to protrude from the bottom wall and extend through the volume for connection to a source of energy; further, the volume defines a space for holding a cooling substance for cooling the one or more electrodes and the skin tissue during an energy-based procedure.
Claims12
A device for treating the skin tissue of a patient during a procedure using electro-magnetic (EM) energy comprising:
- a mat-like structure having a bottom wall, a top wall and upstanding walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the walls defining an enclosed volume, the mat-like structure being divided into a plurality of cells formed into an X-Y geometrical matrix, each of the cells containing an electrode to thereby provide a plurality of electrodes in the mat-like structure;
- wherein each of the plurality of electrodes in the mat-like structure are operatively connected to a programmed controller and wherein the programmed controller is configured to selectively apply a signal from a source of EM energy to activate one or more of the plurality of electrodes;
- wherein the mat-like structure is of a flexible material to allow conformity of the mat-like structure to the patient's body curves when the mat-like structure is in contact with the skin tissue.
