Abstract
A minimally invasive fat cell removal system and method is provided using a numbing component, a laser component, and a NIL component. A cannula and fiber of the laser component are insertable into a body of a patient at a biopsy punch to liquefy a fat cell via a tumescent fluid and/or a laser. A NIL cannula of the NIL component is insertable into the body to remove the fat cell via suction and/or nutation. An anesthetic device of the numbing component may reduce sensation of the body where the cannula is insertable. The fat cell may be harvested and implanted at another location of the body.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a biopsy punch configured to create one biopsy punch opening in skin of a patient at a location;
- a tumescent cannula for injecting a tumescent fluid into a body of the patient, wherein the tumescent cannula comprises an attachable garden spray cannula, wherein the tumescent cannula is insertable into the body of the patient through the one biopsy punch opening;
- a nutational infrasonic liposculpture (“NIL”) component, the NIL component further comprising a source of nutational motion and a source of suction;
- and
- at least one NIL cannula,
- wherein the NIL component is attached to the at least one NIL cannula and wherein the at least one NIL cannula is insertable into the body of the patient through the one biopsy punch opening,
- wherein the source of suction creates a suction through the at least one NIL cannula when the NIL cannula is inserted into the body through the one biopsy punch opening and generates a nutational movement within the body,
- and wherein each of the tumescent cannula and the NIL cannula pass through the same one biopsy punch opening.
A method, comprising:
- creating one biopsy punch opening in skin of a patient at a location using a biopsy punch;
- inserting a tumescent cannula into a body of the patient through the one biopsy punch opening;
- injecting a tumescent fluid into the body of the patient through the one biopsy punch opening via the inserted tumescent cannula;
- inserting a NIL cannula attached to a NIL component into the body of the patient into the body of the patient through the one biopsy punch opening;
- and
- extracting a fat cell through the one biopsy punch opening via suction through the NIL cannula attached to the NIL component, while the NIL cannula is inserted into the body through the one biopsy punch opening and performing a nutational movement within the body, wherein each of the tumescent cannula and the NIL cannula pass through the same one biopsy punch opening.
A method, comprising:
- creating one biopsy punch incision at a location on skin of a patient using a biopsy punch;
- injecting a tumescent fluid into a body of the patient via a tumescent cannula that extends through the one biopsy punch incision;
- inserting a NIL cannula that is attached to a NIL component into the body of the patient through the one biopsy punch incision at the location;
- and
- extracting a fat cell through the one biopsy punch incision by suction through the NIL cannula that is attached to the NIL component, while the NIL cannula is positioned at least partially within the body, extended through the one biopsy punch incision, and performing a nutational movement within the body, the fat cell being harvestable from the one biopsy punch incision at the location,
- wherein causing the fat cell to become tumescent facilitates at least partial liquefaction of the fat cell, and
- wherein each of the tumescent cannula and the NIL cannula pass through the same one biopsy punch incision.
