Claims19
A method for treating a targeted tissue of a subject, comprising:
- providing an applicator with a distal tip having a perimeter portion surrounding an aspiration portion, a plurality of spherical rolling members carried in one or more arc-shaped receiving channel spaces in the aspiration portion,
- contacting the targeted tissue with the distal tip, where the perimeter portion seals the distal tip against the targeted tissue;
- applying negative pressure thereby suctioning targeted tissue against the aspiration portion and moving the distal tip over the targeted tissue while suctioning such that the targeted tissue stretches over the plurality of spherical rolling members, causing the applicator to manipulate the targeted tissue.
A device for treating a targeted tissue of a subject, comprising:
- an applicator body;
- a negative pressure source;
- a distal tip of the applicator body having a perimeter portion configured for contacting the targeted tissue, wherein the perimeter portion surrounds an aspiration portion;
- a plurality of spherical rolling members carried in one or more arc-shaped receiving channel spaces in the aspiration portion;
- wherein contacting and moving the distal tip against the targeted tissue when applying a negative pressure from the negative pressure source causes the targeted tissue to stretch over the plurality of spherical rolling members, wherein the perimeter portion forms a seal against the targeted tissue to cause the negative pressure source to draw fluid from a fluid source into the aspiration portion.
