摘要：
A device for treating infection within a subject includes an ultrasound transducer for applying ultrasound to a treatment site of the subject. In some embodiments, the device transmits ultrasound in the range of greater than about 20 kHz to about 5 MHz to site of infection. For example, the device can transmit ultrasound from a location outside the body to a location inside the body, such as a sinus. The ultrasound may be suitable for removing biofilm or decreasing the viscosity of mucus. Ultrasound from the device can also have other therapeutic and diagnostic uses.
