20080269722 | Liposuction based on tissue liquefaction - Target tissue may be removed from a subject using a cannula that has an interior cavity and an orifice configured to permit material to enter the cavity. This is accomplished by generating a negative pressure in the cavity so that a portion of the tissue is drawn into the orifice. Fluid is then delivered, via a conduit, so that the fluid exits the conduit within the cavity and impinges against the portion of the tissue that was drawn into the orifice. The fluid is delivered at a pressure and temperature that causes the tissue to soften, liquefy, or gellify. The tissue that has been softened, liquefied, or gellified is then suctioned away. | 10-30-2008 |

20090318899 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LIPOSUCTION - Systems and methods for liposuction are disclosed that use a lipid-emulsifying fluid to produce fluid jet disruption and Venturi pumping of fat tissue. The device includes a flexible or rigid probe with an inlet lumen and an outlet lumen. The inlet lumen is in fluid communication with a pump capable of producing high pressures, e.g., 250-3500 psi. The pump is in fluid communication with a volume of a liquid such as sterile saline that may or may not contain a fat emulsifier. At the end of the inlet lumen is a conical constriction or a port that accelerates the emulsification fluid to high velocities. The high velocity jet stream creates a low pressure area that draws the fat tissue into proximity with the jet stream. The jet stream directly and through turbulent vortices breaks up the fat cells. The lipid of the fat cells is subsequently emulsified by the emulsification fluid. | 12-24-2009 |
