Abstract
An ultrasonic treatment device includes an ultrasonic treatment tip and a cooling mechanism. The ultrasonic treatment tip includes a sealed cavity, a sound-transferring medium disposed inside the sealed cavity, a treatment window and a heat-transferring surface. The ultrasonic treatment tip is configured for outputting ultrasonic waves to a treatment area through the treatment window. The heat-transferring surface is intimately surrounding the treatment window and thermally contacted with the treatment area. The cooling mechanism is configured to discharge heat generated at the treatment area outside of the ultrasonic device by thermally contacting the heat-transferring surface.
Claims14
An ultrasonic treatment device, comprising an ultrasonic treatment tip and a cooling or heating mechanism, wherein
- the ultrasonic treatment tip comprises a sealed cavity, a sound-transferring medium disposed inside the sealed cavity, a treatment window and a heat-transferring surface;
- the ultrasonic treatment tip is configured for outputting ultrasonic waves to a treatment area through the treatment window;
- the heat-transferring surface is intimately surrounding the treatment window, and thermally contacted with the treatment area;
- and
- the cooling or heating mechanism is configured to discharge heat generated at the treatment area outside of the ultrasonic device by thermally contacting the heat-transferring surface or generate heat at least partially overlapped with heat of the ultrasonic waves on a same target tissue,
- wherein the cooling or heating mechanism comprises a semiconductor assembly, and the semiconductor assembly comprises a semiconductor sheet, a heat-transferring member and a heat-dissipating member;
- a cold end of the semiconductor sheet is tightly attached with the heat-transferring surface, and a hot end of the semiconductor sheet is tightly attached with the heat-transferring member;
- a heat exchange end of the heat-transferring member away from the semiconductor sheet is connected to the heat-dissipating member.
