Method for promoting tissue regeneration on wound surfaces as device and treatment instrument or implant for carrying out method
First Claim
1. A method for promoting tissue regeneration on wound surfaces (1), in particular on wound surfaces which are to intergrow with other wound surfaces or with an implant, or are to heal into a tissue surface, wherein mechanical oscillation is coupled into the wound surface (1) with the help of a treatment instrument (2) or an implant (5).

Abstract
For promoting tissue regeneration on wound surfaces (1) mechanical oscillation is coupled into the wound surfaces. A treatment instrument (2) coupled to an oscillation drive is brought into contact with the wound surface (1), or an implant is impinged with oscillation during and/or after being positioned in the tissue. The oscillation acts mechanically and thermally on the tissue in the region of the treated wound surface (1), and according to the intensity acts in a stimulating, traumatic, necrotic or cell-destroying manner. Therefore, biological elements inhibiting tissue regeneration are destroyed or denatured and the metabolism in the region of the wound surface is stimulated. The effect may also be a mechanical one, slightly compacting or regionally dislocating the tissue. Since the treatment can be effected during or after positioning an implant, necrosis in particular effects undesired cells, such as connective tissue cells, mucous cells and diseased cells having been brought to the wound surface with the implant, which cells may inhibit the intergrowth between tissue and implant.
