‘Invisible scalpel’ wins CE Mark for Guided Therapy Systems

Guided Therapy Systems has launched its intense therapeutic ultrasound (ITU) Actisound device in the U.K. and Europe following CE Mark approval.

Actisound acts like an invisible scalpel, working beneath the surface of the skin to precisely deliver small thermal ablations to tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissue to stimulate collagen growth and the regeneration of connective tissue.

Unlike other energy sources such as laser, microwave and radio frequency, ultrasound is the only energy source that can penetrate safely through intervening tissue and be focused to a specific point and shape within the body, according to a company statement. This allows physicians the ability to deliver treatments directly at the point of injury, up to depths of 15 mm, without surgery.
