| Title: | METHOD OF THERMAL TREATMENT FOR MYOLYSIS AND DESTRUCTION OF BENIGN UTERINE TUMORS | |||||||||||||||
| Abstract: | A high-power ultrasound heating applicator for minimally-invasive thermal treatment of uterine fibroids or myomas. High-Intensity interstitial ultrasound, applied with minimally-invasive laparoscopic or hysteroscopic procedures, is used to effectively treat fibroids within the myometrium in lieu of major surgery. The applicators are configured with high-power capabilities and thermal penetration to treat large volumes of fibroid tissue (> 70 cm3) in short treatment times (3-20 minutes), while maintaining three-dimensional control of energy delivery to thermally destroy the target volume. | |||||||||||||||
