Abstract
The apparatus is used for therapeutically treating injuries using ultrasound. The present invention may include a therapeutic ultrasonic composite comprising a transducer and an integrated circuit unit positioned adjacent the transducer. The therapeutic ultrasonic composite also includes signal generation circuitry, housed on the integrated circuit unit, for generating a driving signal for the transducer, and a driving interface between the signal generation circuitry and the transducer. In operation, driving signals generated by the signal generation circuitry are transmitted to the transducer by the interface, thereby driving the transducer for the creation of therapeutic ultrasound.
