AB  - Ultrasound  (US)  has  been  used  by  various  health-care  specialists  for  over  60  years.  Biological  effects  in  tissues  exposed  to  US  were  first  reported  by  Wood  and  Loomis  in  1927.1  They  demonstrated  lysis  of  red  blood  cells  and  hindrance  of  mobility  in  mice  following  exposure  to  high-frequency  (300  kHz),  high-intensity  sound  waves.  The  application  of  US  for  medical  treatment  was  introduced  in  Germany  in  the  late  1930s,  and  in  the  United  States  in  the  late  1940s.2,3  The  purpose  of  this  chapter  is  to  describe  the  physical  properties  and  biological  effects  of  ultrasound  and  how  they  can  be  used  to  enhance  wound  healing.
