example 1

[0124] A study was performed on 9 subjects to evaluate the ultrasound device and method. The results indicated that there was a localized increase in blood flow and temperature, as described in PCT Publication No. WO2015 / 116512, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. Figure 9 Shown is the mean increase in vaginal blood flow for nine patients during and after two subsequent treatments with embodiments of the devices and methods described herein.

[0125] Coupling part

[0126] As described herein, acoustic couplers or coupling pads are acoustically transparent, deformable pads (e.g., gel pads) that physiologically conform to the vaginal introitus (vaginal opening) and surrounding structures while gently ensuring consistent, secure treatment delivery. To ensure safe and efficient energy delivery to appropriate anatomical targets, coupling pads have several performance targets. First, firm contact between the ultrasound device and the user's tissue should be ens...

Abstract

A handheld ultrasound device and corresponding method, including devices and methods for restoring a vulvovaginal region of a user. Generally, a handheld ultrasound device includes a device body coupled to an acoustic coupler and a handle. The device body further includes an internal component including an ultrasonic transducer, an energy delivery element, and circuitry for controlling the ultrasonic output. In a particular example, a method of using a handheld ultrasound device includes: engaging tissue in a vulvovaginal region and tissue around the vulvovaginal region with an energy delivery element; applying ultrasonic energy from the energy delivery element to vulvovaginal tissue through an acoustic coupler; and affecting measurable parameters associated with vulvovaginal reconstitution.
