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 minimally invasive fat cell removal system comprising:
- a laser component to condition a fat cell for removal, the laser component further comprising:
- a cannula, and
- a fiber to transmit a laser;
- and
- a nutational infrasonic liposculpture (“NIL”) component to remove the fat cell, the NIL component further comprising:
- a NIL cannula, and
- a suction;
- wherein the cannula and the fiber of the laser component are insertable into a body of a patient at a biopsy punch;
- wherein the laser is transmittable by the fiber to heat the fat cell to induce an at least partial liquefaction of the fat cell;
- wherein the NIL cannula of the NIL component is insertable into the body of the patient at the biopsy punch;
- wherein the fat cell that is at least partially liquefied is removable from the body via the NIL cannula.
A method of removing a fat cell comprising the steps of:
- (a) using a laser component to condition the fat cell for removal, further comprising:
- (i) positioning a fiber at least partially in a cannula,
- (ii) inserting the cannula with the fiber into a body of a patient at a biopsy punch, and
- (iii) operating a laser to be transmitted via the fiber to heat the fat cell to induce an at least partial liquefaction of the fat cell;
- and
- (b) using a NIL component to remove the fat cell, further comprising:
- (iv) inserting a NIL cannula into the body of the patient at the biopsy punch, and
- (v) extracting the fat cell via suction through the NIL cannula;
- wherein removal of the fat cell is minimally invasive.
A method of removing a fat cell that is minimally invasive comprising the steps of:
- (a) using a numbing component to reduce sensation of a body of a patient at a first location using an anesthetic device that does not include a needle;
- (b) using a laser component to condition the fat cell for removal, further comprising:
- (i) positioning a fiber at least partially in a cannula,
- (ii) inserting the cannula with the fiber into the body of the patient at the first location,
- (iii) injecting a tumescent fluid via the cannula to cause the fat cell that will be removed to become tumescent, and
- (iv) operating a laser to be transmitted via the fiber to heat the fat cell to induce an at least partial liquefaction of the fat cell;
- and
- (c) using a NIL component to remove the fat cell, further comprising:
- (v) inserting a NIL cannula into the body of the patient at the first location, and
- (vi) extracting the fat cell by suction through the NIL cannula, the fat cell being harvestable from the first location;
- wherein causing the fat cell to become tumescent facilitates the at least partial liquefaction of the fat cell.
