RESUMO
Analysing the physicians' comments on ultrasonic diagnostic devices revealed it necessary to adapt the routine transducers of these devices for diapeutical interventions. High-echogenicity needles that direct devices for their performance (holders) and special adapters have been designed.

While performing ultrasonic therapy for some soft tissue diseases, a deep tissue ultrasound penetration should be prevented since there may be potential thermal effects on the borderline surfaces (the periostrium, articular menisci, etc.) with greatly varying acoustic properties. For this, a bimorphic low-wave emitter should be used. A emitter-generated pressure-distance relationship has been theoretically derived and experimentally tested. There is an abrupt pressure decline when the emitter is removed from the surface, which recommends that the emitter of this type should be applied to the physiotherapy for diseases needed only near-surface exposure.
