Systems, methods, and devices for treating a subject are described herein. In some embodiments, an applicator for selectively affecting a subject's subcutaneous tissue is provided. The applicator can include: a housing; a treatment cup mounted in the housing, wherein the treatment cup defines a tissue-receiving cavity and includes a temperature-controlled surface; at least one thermal device coupled to the treatment cup and configured to receive energy via a flexible connector coupled to the applicator and to cool the temperature-controlled surface; an at least one vacuum port coupled to the treatment cup and configured to provide a vacuum to draw the subject's tissue into the tissue-receiving cavity and against at least a portion of a treatment area of the temperature-controlled surface to selectively damage and/or reduce the subject's subcutaneous tissue.

An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose micro-lipo needle device and methods of making and using the same.

A tissue sampling, processing and collection device for connection in-line to a hand-held power-assisted tissue aspiration instrument and a vacuum source. The tissue sampling, processing and collection device includes a suction plate, mounted within a collection chamber, and having multiple hollow projections for supporting the open proximal ends of a plurality of tissue collection and processing tubes. Each of these tissue collection and processing tubes has micro-pores formed in the side walls thereof and its distal end opening is capped, thereby allowing fluid to flow and filter therethrough while the tissue collection and processing tube is mounted on the suction plate during tissue aspiration operations. The in-line tissue sampling, processing and collection device is provided with a knob for manually selecting the tissue collection and processing tube, into which a sampled of aspirated fat tissue to is be collected and processed in situ during tissue aspiration operations.

A device includes light sources, electromagnetic field generators, and vibration components to apply a variety of treatment regimens to a living animal organism, including a human person or a body part of a person. The light and electromagnetic therapy are applied at frequencies which have physiological effects, and which can be combined to induce lipolysis, stimulate muscle, and achieve other effects. Feedback is used to dynamically adjust the intensity, duration, and other parameters of the light, electromagnetic, and vibration treatment modalities.

Slurries comprise liquid water, about 2% to about 70% ice by volume, and one or more additives affecting flowability and/or tonicity of the slurry. Solutions for making a slurry comprise liquid water and one or more additives affecting flowability of the slurry. Flowability of the slurry relates to ice particles capable of flowing through a cannula, such as a needle. The slurry is suitable for injection into subcutaneous fat of a human subject for removal of adipose tissue.

A bariatric surgery operating room configured and operational for treating metabolic syndrome in human patients on an ambulatory basis. The bariatric surgery operating room includes a set of trocars for creating laparoscopy portals through small incisions formed in a human patient's body while supported upon an operating table. A source of inert gas is provided for infusion into the abdominal region of the patient so as to cause tenting of the abdominal region and abdominal distension and tenting in a human patient suffering from obesity and likely to benefit from visceral fat removal within the body of the human patient. A laparoscope is inserted through a first one of said trocars and into the abdominal region of the human patient so that a surgeon can capture video images of the abdominal region of the patient, and display the captured video images within the view of the surgeon. A powered tissue aspiration instrument is inserted through a second one of the trocars and into the mesenteric region of the human patient. Gripping tools are inserted through a third and optionally fourth trocars installed in the patient's abdomen, for gripping anatomical structures in the mesenteric region during visceral fat tissue aspiration operations. The laparoscope is used to capture video images of the mesenteric region of the human patient during visceral fat tissue aspiration operations, and display video images to provide laparoscopic guidance to the surgeon while aspirating visceral fat tissue from the mesenteric region of the human patient so as to treat metabolic syndrome of the human patient in a minimally-invasive manner by reducing three or more risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome.

Embodiments include cryogenic systems and methods for treating pain or spasm associated with a nerve of a patient. A target nerve may be located and a distal end of a cryogenic system needle may be inserted into a tissue at a desired location in proximity to the target nerve. The needle includes an outer lumen and an inner lumen extending distally within the outer lumen, the inner lumen including a distal opening that is open to the outer lumen. A cooling fluid may be delivered from a cooling fluid source to the needle via a fluidic pathway, the fluidic pathway including the cooling fluid source, the inner lumen, and the outer lumen, wherein a flow of the cooling fluid cools the needle so that the needle cools the target nerve at the desired location sufficiently such that the pain or spasm is inhibited.

A laser system includes a laser source generating a laser beam having ultra-short pulses; a laser delivery assembly optically receiving the laser beam and comprising: a beam splitter configured to split the laser beam between a first beam delivery path and a second beam delivery path; and at least one focusing lens optically coupled to the beam splitter and configured to focus the laser beam from each of the first beam delivery path and the second beam delivery path to a focal point on a predefined plane; wherein the first beam delivery path intersects the predefined plane at a first angle, the second beam delivery path intersects the predefined plane at a second angle, and a first pulse from the first beam delivery path and a second pulse from the second beam delivery path are coincident at the focal point.

A fat-reducing treatment device and a freezing fat-reducing instrument are disclosed. The fat-reducing treatment device includes at least two concave cups (100), each concave cup (100) having a trough-shaped body (110) and a connecting end (120). The at least two concave cups (100) are coupled together at the connecting ends (120) such as to rotatable about a first axis (A). The trough-shaped bodies (110) of the at least two concave cups (100) are brought into communication with each other at the connecting ends (120). The first axis (A) is oriented in a first direction, and the trough-shaped bodies (110) extend in a second direction (B) and are open in a third direction. With this arrangement, the trough-shaped bodies (110) can accommodate the placement of a larger abdomen or waist portion of a human body. In this way, the trough-shaped bodies (110) can adapt to waist and abdomen portions with different contours and curvatures and provide a large fat reduction treatment area, resulting in a simpler treatment procedure, a shorter treatment time, higher fat reduction efficiency, improved fat reduction outcomes and enhanced user experiences and satisfaction.
