Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement d'articulation par ultrasons comprenant plusieurs éléments réalisant des vibrations ultrasonores sous l'application de tensions de commande. Une bande support contient une surface interne sur laquelle sont agencés les éléments ultrasonores selon une structure déterminée, cette bande étant d'une largeur suffisante pour pouvoir suffisamment entourer le bras ou la jambe à traiter. Une paire d'attaches femelle et mâle est fixée amovible aux deux portions d'extrémité de la bande support. Un connecteur mâle ou femelle est ajusté sur l'extérieur de la bande support, et couplé à un connecteur femelle ou mâle relié à une alimentation électrique extérieure via un cordon électrique afin de délivrer de l'énergie électrique aux éléments ultrasonores.
