example 1

[0118] A study was conducted with 9 subjects to evaluate the ultrasound apparatus and method of the present invention. The results demonstrate a local increase in both blood flow and temperature, as described in PCT Publication No. WO 2015 / 116512, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. Figure 9 Average increases in vaginal blood flow are shown for 9 patients during and after two subsequent treatments with embodiments of the devices and methods described herein.

[0119] Coupling Pad Design Considerations

[0120] As described herein, acoustic couplers or pads are ultrasound-transparent, deformable gel pads that physiologically conform to the introitus (vaginal opening) and surrounding structures while gently ensuring consistent, safe delivery of therapy . To ensure safe and efficient energy delivery to the appropriate anatomical target, the coupling pad has several performance goals. First, it should ensure firm contact between the ultrasound device and the u...

Abstract

A handheld ultrasound device and corresponding methods used for rejuvenating the vulvovaginal area of the user. In general, the handheld ultrasound devices include a device body coupled to an acousticcoupler and a handle. The device body further includes internal components including an ultrasound transducer, an energy delivery element, and circuitry for controlling the ultrasound output. The methods of using the handheld ultrasound device include engaging the tissue in and around the vulvovaginal area with the energy delivery element, applying ultrasound energy to the vulvovaginal tissue from the energy delivery element and through the acoustic coupler, and affecting a measurable parameter associated with vulvovaginal rejuvenation.
