The AR1000 Series and its variants produce and deliver low frequency ultrasound used to promote wound healing via: - Selective and non-selective dissection and fragmentation of soft and or hard tissue; - Surgical, excisional or sharp-edge wound debridement (acute and chronic wounds, burns) for the removal of nonviable tissue including but not limited to diseased tissue, necrotic tissue, slough and eschar, fibrin, tissue exudates, bacteria and other matter. - Site cleansing irrigation and lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue); - Contact and or non-contact maintenance debridement for the removal ofdebris, exudates, fragments, bacteria, slough, fibrin, excised or fragmented tissue, and other matter. - Preparing the wound bed for graft or other subsequent procedures using contact and or non-contact techniques to achieve wound debridement.

The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System and its variants use ultrasonic energy from a generator delivered by a conductive cable to a hand held converter through the converter's distal end probe and liquid coupling medium: to perform wound therapy; to perform ultrasonic surgical, excisional, and or sharp-edge selective dissection procedures; with the intended end result to promote healing. The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System generator utilizes commonly available wall outlet power (85 -260VAC, 50/60Hz) to produce the ultrasonic signal. A conductive cable connects the generator to the hand held converter. The hand held converter converts the signal into ultrasonic mechanical displacement in the distal end probe or Qurette. The ultrasonic mechanical displacement energy is applied to the treatment site by the distal end probe or Qurette through direct contact or noncontact techniques. The ultrasonic mechanical displacement energy is also transmitted as ultrasonic energy to the treatment site via the liquid coupling medium. The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System distal end probe or Qurette is used with contact or non-contact modes to achieve intended wound therapy modalities to promote wound healing. This is achieved through the use of the low-frequency, controlled-intensity, ultrasonic energy to perform ultrasonic dissection and fragmentation of tissues, debridement of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue), and surgical, excisional or sharp-edge incisions. The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System distal end probe or Qurette is used with contact or non-contact modes to achieve wound therapy and promotes wound healing through the ultrasonic dissection and fragmentation of tissues, debridement of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) through the use of the low-frequency, controlled-intensity, non-thermal ultrasonic energy. The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System ultrasonic energy, via the liquid coupling medium to the treatment site, promotes wound healing through the lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and cleansing irrigation of the site for the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria, and other matter. The AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System uses continuous ultrasonic energy to propel the liquid medium (e.g. sterile saline, or other appropriate US FDA cleared medium) into a solution stream and couples the delivery of ultrasonic energy to the treatment site. This is accomplished by the ultrasonic energy application to the treatment site where the ultrasonic energy is transmitted via the converter probe (Qurette) and also coupled via the liquid medium to the treatment site. The converter has a transducer horn that is made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V). The converter probe Qurette tips are made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V). No latex is used in this device, including any potential patient-contact areas, and testing has revealed no negative reactions to the materials used in this device.

Promotes wound healing through lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and maintenance debridement for the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria and other matter.

The AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System promotes wound healing through the ultrasonic lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and cleansing irrigation & maintenance debridement of the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria, and other matter through the use of low-frequency, low-intensity, nonthermal non-contact ultrasonic energy and oxygenated fluid irrigation. This is accomplished by the non-contact, non-thermal application of a fine oxygenated fluid stream spray to the wound bed whereby ultrasound energy is transmitted via the stream from the applicator tip to the wound tissue. Non-contact ultrasound provides cellular stimulation, increased blood flow, and reduced bioburden with much less pain or thermal-effect than competing direct contact ultrasound devices. The AS1000 uses continuous ultrasonic energy to oxygenate the fluid (typically sterile saline) into a solution stream and couple the delivery of ultrasonic energy via the stream to the treatment site.

Selective dissection and fragmentation of tissue, wound debridement (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue), and cleansing irrigation of the site for the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, and other matter.

The AR1000 system uses ultrasound for selective tissue dissection and fragmentation and saline for irrigation of the wound bed over course of treatment.
