Liposuction cannula with imaging means

Liposuction cannula, comprising:

• a tube with a front end at which there is provided at least one suction opening, and with a back end intended to be connected to a source of vacuum;
• in the tube there being defined at least one longitudinal flow conduit for the aspirated material;
• and
• detector means arranged at the front end of said tube and capable of supplying in use signals containing information useful for the operator using the cannula;
• wherein the said detector means comprise an imaging apparatus 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 of the cannula 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 of the cannula down to a second depth or distance, greater than the said first depth or distance.
