Abstract:
A device including a focused ultrasound probe, a first balloon, and a second balloon. The first balloon can be located at least partially inside the second balloon. The inner balloon can be configured to act as a fluid interface, a mechanism for cooling, and a mechanism for changing tissue depth of a focal point of the probe. The second balloon can be filed with a thermosensitive hydrogel configured to turn from a fluid at room temperature to a gel at physiologic temperatures. The first and second balloons can be configured to create a fluid interface between the probe and targeted tissue of a patient.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for delivering ultrasound therapy, the system comprising:\n a focused ultrasound probe including a transducer; a balloon complex including a first balloon and a second balloon, the first balloon surrounding the transducer and located at least partially inside the second balloon, the first balloon being configured to receive a first fluid, the second balloon being configured to receive a second fluid, the second fluid being different from the first fluid, the first balloon being configured to expand to form an elliptical or circular shape having a convex exterior surface without any concave portions; and at least one port including tubing extending from an interior of the second balloon to an exterior of the second balloon, the at least one port allowing (i) air to be removed from the second balloon and (ii) non-gaseous fluid to be injected into or removed from the second balloon.
