Proper energy delivery and prevention of side effects are important factors in therapeutic ultrasound-based musculoskeletal pain treatment. In this post, I would like to introduce a wearable ultrasound device developed by our company that maximizes energy delivery and minimizes side effects.
Energy Delivery and Therapeutic Effects
β’
In therapeutic ultrasound, the energy that reaches the body directly affects the therapeutic effect. The higher the total energy, the greater the therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is important to increase the total energy for effective treatment.
Stationary technique and side effects
β’
Generally, ultrasound with stationary technique is performed by direct skin contact. However, because this method delivers high-energy ultrasound waves for a short period of time, it can cause side effects such as burns. Burning biological tissue is similar to boiling an egg. No matter how long you immerse them in cold water, they won't boil. When you boil an egg, it won't boil at first, but it will gradually boil over time. In this way, low energy needs to be delivered continuously to prevent damage to biological tissue.

Wearable Ultrasound Equipment
The wearable ultrasound equipment developed by our company has been developed to solve this problem: it is attachable and can be conveniently attached to the desired area and worn for an extended period of time. This allows us to stimulate high-energy ultrasound with low energy for a longer period of time, increasing the total energy and maximizing the effectiveness while minimizing side effects such as burns.
