1. A method for treating tissue using ultrasonic energy comprising the steps of:
- applying a medicament to tissue; and
delivering ultrasonic energy from a non-contact distance from the tissue to the medicament and to the tissue, wherein the ultrasonic energy has intensity capable of penetrating the wound tissue to a beneficial depth to provide a therapeutic effect to the tissue, and of sonicating the medicament for causing the medicament to penetrate the tissue to a beneficial depth to provide a therapeutic effect to the tissue.

18. An apparatus for treating tissue comprising:
-
a generator and a transducer for generating ultrasonic energy;
wherein the transducer delivers the ultrasonic energy to the tissue and to a medicament applied to the tissue from a non-contact distance from the tissue; and
wherein the generated ultrasonic energy has an intensity capable of applying acoustic pressure and penetrating the wound tissue to a beneficial depth to provide a therapeutic effect to the tissue, and of sonicating the medicament for causing the medicament to penetrate the tissue to a beneficial depth to provide a therapeutic effect to the tissue. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
