ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic ultrasonic device which will transmit multiple ultrasonic frequencies through one ultrasonic applicator. The applicator includes a handle; two diaphragms connected to one end of the handle with each diaphragm having an applicating face directed away from the handle and a rear face directed into the handle so that the applicating faces may be independently applied to a patient during therapy; and at least two piezoelectric crystals. A piezoelectric crystal is connected to the rear face of each diaphragm for converting periodic electrical energy into ultrasonic energy and transmitting the ultrasonic energy through the diaphragm to which the crystal is connected independently of the other diaphragm. An excitation source is provided for independently applying a periodic electric field of selectable frequency across a crystal in order to select the crystal to receive the periodic electric field and to select the ultrasonic frequency transmitted through the diaphragm to which the selected crystal is connected.
