Abstract
Systems for promoting sexual well-being in males and for treating erectile dysfunction using acoustic energy.
Claims22
A tissue treatment device comprising:
- an elongate tubular assembly extending along an axis a proximal opening adjacent to an interior chamber adapted for receiving a shaft of a mammalian penis;
- a plurality of acoustic energy emitters comprising at least a first acoustic energy emitter and a second acoustic energy emitter, the plurality of acoustic energy emitters configured to produce an acoustic energy at a high intensity sufficient to produce shock waves, where the first acoustic energy emitter and the second acoustic energy emitter are positioned on opposing sides of the interior chamber to deliver the acoustic energy to opposing sides of the shaft when placed within the interior chamber;
- and
- a wall adjacent to the interior chamber, the wall comprising an elastomeric portion having at least one contact element, where the at least one contact element is configured to transmit acoustic energy to a greater degree than the elastomeric portion, where the at least one contact element is adjacent to at least one of the plurality of acoustic energy emitters.

- a plurality of acoustic energy emitters comprising at least a first acoustic energy emitter and a second acoustic energy emitter, the plurality of acoustic energy emitters configured to produce an acoustic energy at a high intensity sufficient to produce shock waves, where the first acoustic energy emitter and the second acoustic energy emitter are positioned on opposing sides of the interior chamber to deliver the acoustic energy to opposing sides of the shaft when placed within the interior chamber;
- and
- a wall surrounding an interior chamber, the wall comprising a first wall portion and a second wall portion, wherein the first wall portion includes a non-deflectable material and the second wall portion includes a deflectable material, where the second wall portion also includes at least one non-elastomeric section adapted for transmission of acoustic energy therethrough.

- an elastomeric structure within the elongate tubular assembly and surrounding the interior chamber, where at least one of the plurality of acoustic energy emitters is positioned in the elastomeric structure;
- and
- a fluid-filled chamber positioned radially outward from the at least one of the plurality of acoustic energy emitters such that inflation of the fluid-filled chamber causes the at least one of the plurality of acoustic energy emitters to contact the mammalian penis.
