A powered handpiece for imparting to a cannula of a medical device a reciprocal movement of amplitude (Δx) along a longitudinal axis (X) is provided. A housing (1) at least partially encloses a hollow tube (2) extending along the longitudinal axis (X) between an inlet end (2i) and an outlet end (2o), the inlet end (2i) being configured for coaxially coupling the hollow tube (2) to a hollow cannula (10). A ring (3) rigidly is coupled to the hollow tube (2) and has an opening (3o) defined on a plane (X, Y), having a length, L, Y ⊥X. A cam (4) mounted on a rotation axle (4r) parallel to a second transverse axis (Z) normal to the plane (X, Y) (i.e., X ⊥Y ⊥Z), offset from a centroid (C) of the cam on the plane (X, Y) by a distance (δP), and set at a fixed position relative to the housing (1), the cam being engaged in the opening (3o).

A guide device for cannulas for the collection of micro-fragmented subcutaneous adipose tissue includes a handle which has an axial cavity intended to house a syringe equipped with a collection cannula. The axial cavity has an open proximal end, an open distal end and a central axis. A lip protrudes cantilevered from the distal end at a distance from the central axis and from said cannula. An intermediate anti-flexion element of the cannula is arranged between the handle and the lip.

The cannula (1) comprises a tube (2) with a front end (4) at which there is provided at least one suction opening (10), and with a back end (3) intended to be connected to a source of vacuum; in the tube (2) there being defined at least one longitudinal flow conduit (8, 9) for the aspirated material; and an imaging apparatus (11, 12) capable of supplying first signals or data allowing the generation of a visual representation of the environment in close proximity to the front end of the tube (2) of the cannula (1) down to a first depth or distance, and second signals or data allowing the generation of a visual representation of the environment around the front end of the tube (2) of the cannula (1) down to a second depth or distance, greater than the said first depth or distance.

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.

A fat suction and graft syringe includes a negative pressure adjustment mechanism. The negative pressure state in a barrel can be maintained during a procedure only by pulling and releasing a plunger, and only by slightly rotating the plunger. The plunger can be pushed inside the barrel without being constrained by a multi-level holding plate and a single-surface rotation clip, whereby the syringe has enhanced convenience in the use and production thereof so that many practitioners accustomed to using a normal syringe can easily use the syringe without separately learning how to manipulate the syringe.

Systems and methods for treating tissue including an apparatus that applies or a method involving separating septa to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite or liposuction in combination with separating septa to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite. In one approach, an interventional tool is placed between tissue layers to engage and treat tissue layers between which fat deposits are contained.

A fat harvesting system 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.

The cannula can have a connector configured to be electrically connected to a source of electrical power; a tip comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB); a first LED operatively connected and attached to the PCB and configured to emit light in a first wavelength range; and a shell configured to allow the light in the first wavelength range to pass from the first LED outside of the shell; and a middle section located between the connector and the tip, the middle section comprising: a hollow tube attached to the shell, the tube having apertures for collecting a liquid fat into the tube.

A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for de-bulking fat includes steps of: (a) injecting platelet rich plasma (PRP) into a subject area; followed by (b) heating fat cells in the subject area using radiofrequency; followed by (c) aspirating fat cells in the subject area using liposuction; followed by (d) injecting platelet rich plasma (PRP) into the subject area again. The PRP injecting step (a) may be performed two to seven weeks prior to the heating and liposuction steps (b) and (c); and the PRP injecting step (d) may be performed several days to four weeks after the heating and liposuction steps (b) and (c).
