Abstract

Hand-held ultrasound device that includes (a) a first arm that includes further an ultrasound wave transducer, (b) a handle, and (c) a second arm, wherein one of the arms is rigidly attached to the handle, and another of the arms is pivotably attached to the handle for holding a hank of hair between the first arm and the second arm for using the ultrasound wave transducer to kill an infestation residing on hair and a method for killing infestation residing on hair are disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) clasping a hank of the hair between arms of a hand-held device; one of the arms having installed therein an ultrasound wave transducer; and (b) transmitting ultrasound waves from the ultrasound wave transducer to the hank of the hair.
