Abstract

An ultrasonic probe transmits ultrasonic energy along a shaft from a proximate end to a distal end. The ultrasonic probe includes at least one notch on its distal end. Fibrous tissue, such as septa that connect skin layers to muscle layers of animal tissue, can be positioned within the notch so that it is in contact with at least a portion of the distal end of the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic energy conducted through the ultrasonic probe to the distal end will sever the fibrous tissue in the notch. The ultrasonic probe is also designed, in embodiments, to fragment or emulsify adipose tissue, as part of an ultrasonic assisted lipoplasty (UAL) procedure.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application was filed as a PCT International Patent Application on October 17, 2012, and claims U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 548,190 filed on October 17, 2011 and serial number 61 / 548,190 filed on November 23, 2011 61 / 563,366, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The technology relates to the field of ultrasonic devices and the application of ultrasonic energy in medicine. Specifically, it involves the application of ultrasonic energy to sever fibrous tissue in animal patients, such as human patients, and to separate fatty tissue in patients. Background technique [0004] The term "cellulite" refers to the dimpled appearance of skin that some people have on their body, usually on the hips, thighs, and buttocks. Cellulite is thought to result from a cord of connective, fibrous tissue called a "septa," which connects the skin to the underly...
