ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic energy amplifier. The amplifier comprises a delivery horn having a solid proximal portion and a hollow distal portion. The hollow distal portion has substantially less cross-sectional area than the solid proximal portion. Ultrasonic energy is transmitted sequentially through the proximal and distal portions and its velocity is amplified because of the lower cross-sectional area of the distal portion.
