Automated Device For Liposuction
US Patent:
5352194, Oct 4, 1994
Filed:
Jun 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/905726
Inventors:
Richard J. Greco - Pittsburgh PA

Mark B. Freidman - Pittsburgh PA
J. William Futrell - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
A61B 1700
US Classification:
604 35
Abstract:
The present invention provides a device for performing suction lipectomy or liposuction in which the reciprocal motion required during the liposuction procedure is automated. This automation greatly reduces the physical exertion required of the operating surgeon. The present invention also allows the use of smaller cannulae to achieve an improved aesthetic result. Use of such smaller cannulae with the manual liposuction procedures currently in use would be extremely taxing if not impossible.
