A fat harvesting systems and related methods of harvesting and reinjecting fat that provides a medical professional with multiple technique options. Harvested fat can be subjected to a variety of pre-reinjection preparation steps within a single, self contained reservoir such that the potential for contaminating the harvested fat is avoided. The fat harvesting system can be completely self-contained kit requiring no additional external systems or alternatively, can utilize available surgical suite systems, for example, vacuum to successfully harvest, prepare and reinject fat cells. The fat harvesting system can size harvested fat cells so as to be especially desirable for different injection locations in the body. The fat harvesting system is a single use, disposable system that requires no sterilization equipment and recovered and sized fat cells are maintained in a sanitary environment so as to avoid contamination that could result in having to discard recovered fat cells.

A device for removing fat from a body can include a pair of nested hollow members that each has at least one opening and an adjustment means for adjusting the orientation of the nested hollow members from a first configuration to a second configuration to change an amount of overlap between openings in the nested hollow members. The nested members can be deformable to change the shape of the openings.

The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for subdermal tissue tightening through soft tissue coagulation and for use in cosmetic surgery applications. The devices, systems and methods of the present disclosure may be used for a minimally invasive application of plasma energy to subcutaneous tissue for the purpose of tightening lax tissue. The present disclosure further provides several elasticity measurement devices, which are used to determine the elasticity of a tissue. The measurements obtained by the elasticity measurement devices are used to determine when a desired firmness or elasticity has been achieved during a tissue tightening procedure.

The present invention relates to a power-assisted liposuction device. The power-assisted liposuction device includes: a handpiece; a motor mounted inside the handpiece and connected with a power source to provide driving force; a reverse cam of which one end is connected to the motor; and a cannula connected to the other end of the reverse cam. The reverse cam converts a rotary motion of the motor into a linear reciprocating motion so that the cannula performs a reciprocating motion when the motor is operated.

A laparoscopic-based method of safely removing visceral fat tissue deposits from within a human patient suffering from metabolic syndrome. Laparoscopy portals are formed through small incisions in a human patient's body, and an inert gas is infused into the abdominal region of the human patient to cause abdominal distension. A laparoscope is inserted 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 fat tissue aspiration instrument is inserted into the mesenteric region of the human patient, wherein the powered fat tissue aspiration instrument has an instrument housing and a cannula assembly mounted with respect to the instrument housing. The laparoscope is used to capture video images of the mesenteric region of the human patient, and display the video images to provide laparoscopic guidance to the surgeon while safely aspirating visceral fat tissue from the mesenteric region of the human patient to ameliorate the metabolic syndrome of the human patient on an ambulatory basis.

A method to divide liposuction fat into aliquots for use and cryopreservation purposes, the method comprising: providing a taking container that contains adipose material removed by liposuction, the adipose material including fat and aqueous fluid; providing a plurality of cryopreservation containers; taking a quantity of the adipose material from the taking container, keeping the quantity of the adipose material isolated from an external environment; separating by gravity the fat from the aqueous fluid in the adipose material of the taken quantity; and transferring the separated fat into one or more cryopreservation containers, to define isolated aliquots of fat.

A decompression device and method for removing marrow and other fluid from an intramedullary canal. The decompression device includes a cannula having a channel that allows fatty marrow to pass therethrough. A first port extends from the device and is in operable connection to a vacuum source that creates suction for removing fluid from the intramedullary canal. In some embodiments, one or more fenestrations are disposed along the second end of the cannula to expedite the removal of the fluid. In operation, the cannula is inserted into the intramedullary canal of a femur. Once fatty marrow is removed from the intramedullary canal, the cannula is removed and a reaming device is inserted into the femur. In this way, the fatty marrow is removed prior to the reaming procedure in order to prevent these fluids from traveling to the lungs causing blockage that leads to severe cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction.

A collagen fiber extraction tool, which includes a handle, a connecting rod fixed to a front end of the handle, and a tooth member fixed to a front end of the connecting rod. The tooth member includes a body and comb teeth, the comb teeth are strip-shaped, one end of each comb tooth is fixed to the body, a tooth tip is provided at the other end of the comb tooth, and a tooth edge having an acute angle is disposed on a rear side or on both front and rear sides of the comb tooth. The plurality of comb teeth are arranged in a row along the front-rear direction of the body, and a gap is disposed between adjacent comb teeth in the same row.

Provided is a device for suctioning bodily fluids and for supplying a fluid substance to a human or animal body, in which the device includes a drive unit (1, 1′, 1″; 2) having a drive (20), a pump head (30, 30′, 30″) which is drivable by the drive (20) and a connecting part (5, 7′, 4″) which is releasably connectable to the drive unit (1, 1′, 1″; 2) and has a tube guide (555, 710′, 43″). The tube guide (555, 710′, 43″) is realized in such a manner for receiving a tube (I) that the tube, in combination with the pump head (30, 30′, 30″), forms a peristaltic pump (3) by way of which the fluid substance is conveyable through the tube (I) to the human or animal body. The pump head (30, 30′, 30″) is incorporated in the connecting part (5, 7′, 4″), and the drive unit (1, 1′, 1″; 2) includes a coupling element (24, 24′) which is connected to the drive (20) in order to couple the pump head (30, 30′. 30″) to the drive (20).

A method and apparatus that reduces the time and trauma associated with tissue removal procedures such as Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction, which emulsifies and then extracts unwanted adipose from a patient's target zone. Emulsification and suction are optimized and performed in a synchronous manner by a single apparatus to improve the outcome and minimize, if not eliminate, the limitations, risks and complications caused by current state of the art techniques.
