Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a fat melting medical device using an electronic RF and a high intensity focusing type ultrasound for improving obesity,

The present invention relates to a fat melting medical device using an electromagnetic RF and a high intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave and, more particularly, to a fat melting medical device using electronic RF and high intensity focusing type ultrasound for improving obesity and prevention of obesity, .

Recently, adult diseases (including mammals) such as diabetes, hypertension, and vascular disorders such as the brain or internal organs have become serious problems. The biggest cause of these is obesity.

In order to improve obesity, it is scientifically known that inhibition of caloric intake and exercise are effective. Appetite suppressants, and digestion / absorption inhibitors, and the use of thermodynamic stimulants are under study, some of which have been approved by the government.

As for exercise, people start diet, walking, physical exercise, dancing, swimming and cycling because of the popularization of cars and the lack of exercise resulting from sitting and working professions. However, it is a big problem that it is difficult to sustain an exercise program without sufficient time and strong willpower. Therefore, a method for effectively and stably reducing obesity is required.

As is known in the art, subcutaneous fat is composed of granules surrounded by cellulite. These subcutaneous fat is not well decomposed through exercise. This is because the lipid-degrading enzyme in the body is blocked by the cellulite described above.

Therefore, in the past, a procedure for physically introducing adipocytes by inserting a cardiac catheter, which is referred to as a needlestick needle, has been practiced. Such a procedure precedes general anesthesia because it entails pain to the recipient. However, general anesthesia can not be ruled out as a risk factor for the recipient, and it is inevitable that the internal bleeding and subsequent recovery of the tissue are prolonged if the cardiac catheter is inserted.

On the other hand, recently, procedures for liquefying subcutaneous fat through an apparatus for focusing and applying strong ultrasonic waves in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the skin (hereinafter referred to as an ultrasonic device) have been performed. The configuration for generating the ultrasonic wave in the ultrasonic device is called a 'probe'. The probe is composed of a plurality of piezoelectric elements as illustrated in FIG. 1, Like a hemispherical shape, or a target shape as in [C].

However, since the transducer of the above-described ultrasonic device forms only a single procedure focal point as shown in Fig. 1, there is an inconvenience that the transducer must be moved several times within the procedure area. Further, in order to prevent the case where the same area is re-operated, an additional safety device such as a camera for imaging the treatment area and predetermined display means (e.g., a bull's-eye) provided on the probe is required.

Furthermore, strong ultrasound applied to the surface of the skin may lead to burning or degeneration of the skin tissue.

Ultrasonic wave is a wave having a frequency of 20 KHz or more and has a property of transmitting water, and is widely used in medical fields such as an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus.

Ultrasonic imaging devices using the transmission and reflection properties of ultrasound are the most typical applications of ultrasound in the medical field. It is an apparatus that obtains a cross-sectional image in the human body by visualizing the time and intensity of reflection while transmitting ultrasound through the human body and transmitting through each organ. In addition, various properties of ultrasonic waves have the following effects.

(1) Mechanical effect of ultrasound

The mechanical effect of the ultrasonic wave is used to transmit ultrasound vibration directly to a knife for surgical use and to be used for cutting or coagulation using ultrasonic waves.

(2) Cavitational Effect of Ultrasound:

When the ultrasonic sound pressure passes through the fluid, a fine bubble is generated in the fluid. In this case, the generated bubble ruptures through the expansion and collapse process, and a high pressure due to the bubble appears as a shockwave type, a strong shearing force, .

(3) Thermal effect of ultrasonic waves

 Ultrasound is absorbed as it passes through the tissue and the energy changes to heat. Ultrasound with sufficient energy can cause a rapid temperature rise in the tissue, which is called the thermal effect of ultrasound.

Ultrasonic surgical instruments are medical devices that use the thermal effect of such ultrasonic waves. In particular, a high intensity focused ultrasound surgical unit (HIFU) focuses the ultrasound generated from an ultrasonic transducer at a certain point (focus) and irradiates the tissue in the tissue to generate a heat effect generated at the focus point It is a device that treats cancer such as liver cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer by the heat treatment method, and it provides the selective local cancer treatment method which does not leave any injuries or side effects to the human body and does not cause pain, Patient-friendly cancer therapy.

Previously, compared with the removal of cancerous tissue by invasive (skin ablation) method, since the energy is externally transmitted through the human body, there is no skin ablation, the treatment method is simple, and the patient recovery is quick after treatment. There is a trend.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fat melting medical apparatus using an electromagnetic RF and a high-intensity focusing type ultrasound as an apparatus for safely and effectively performing bio-fat decomposition using electromagnetic RF and ultrasonic irradiation.

In order to achieve the above object, the fat melting medical apparatus using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasound according to the present invention includes a transducer 52 for irradiating highly integrated ultrasonic waves installed inside the treatment unit 50 corresponding to the housing, ; A pair of electrodes 54 provided on both sides of the trend ducer 52 to generate high frequency waves; And

And a cooling element (58) installed in close contact with the electrodes (54) to cool the heat generated by the electrodes (54)

The fat melting medical device using the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave is characterized in that a cap 56 is provided at a portion contacting the skin at the treatment portion 50 and connected to an external vacuum generator so as to generate a negative pressure by vacuum and,

The fat melting medical device using the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave further includes an impedance measuring unit (42)

The ultrasonic medical apparatus includes an impedance measuring and displaying unit 10 for displaying information inside the skin tissue acquired by the impedance measuring unit 42,

The control unit 20 is configured to be touch-screened to adjust the intensity of the ultrasonic waves emitted from the transducer 52 and the intensity of the ultrasonic waves generated at the electrode 54,

The fat-melting medical apparatus using the high-intensity focusing ultrasound system comprises: a system control device (12) for controlling each component of the medical device;

A transcutaneous ultrasound / RF generator 53 for causing the transducer 52 and the electrode 54 to generate ultrasonic waves and high frequency, respectively;

 And an ultrasonic / RF control unit 20, which is an operation device provided with a touch screen for operation of a physician who is a practitioner; And

A high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic transducer 52 and a pair of electrodes 54 are embedded in the handpiece 30 and a handpiece 30 ).

According to the medical fatigue medical device using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave according to the present invention, a transducer for irradiating a highly integrated ultrasonic wave and a pair of electrodes for generating a high frequency are used for increasing the temperature of the focal point So that it is possible to raise the temperature of the focal point, which is the operation site, by the temperature for the operation by the high frequency without irradiating the transducer with the ultrasonic wave of high energy.

Since the transducer does not irradiate high-energy ultrasonic waves, the service life of the treatment section where the transducer is installed is prolonged, which is economical.

Since the temperature of the cooling element is lowered, the occurrence of burns on the skin of the person to be treated can be prevented, and the temperature of the surface of the skin contacting with the treatment part is lowered. The intensity of the ultrasonic wave and the high frequency energy can be improved by intensively transmitting the temperature to the focused region due to the irradiation of the ultrasonic waves.

In addition, since the vacuum is made so that the negative pressure is applied to the surface of the treatment part, the treatment part adsorbs the surface of the skin with a constant pressure even if the doctor presses the skin surface at a constant pressure. So that it is possible to focus the treatment area to almost the same depth, so that there is a remarkable effect that safe fat melting can be performed without damaging nerve and blood vessels.

In vivo, fats are synthesized by lipid-synthesizing enzymes in adipocytes from glucose and free fatty acids, forming a remnant.

In humans, adult fat cells are mostly white adipocytes. Thus, hereinafter, the adipocyte will be referred to as a white adipocyte. Adipose cells are thin, 20 μm in length, and grow to 100 μm (sometimes 200 μm), depending on fat accumulation. The accumulation of fat in adults is due to their growth rather than the increase in the number of fat cells. In grown adipocytes, the remains are covered by the aqueous fluid layer, and the thickness of the aqueous fluid layer is much smaller than the diameter of the remains itself.

In the cell liquid, an endoplasmic reticulum is contained, and the endoplasmic reticulum contains a lipolytic enzyme called hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) which breaks down fat to fatty acid and glycerol. On the other hand, the fatty surface is covered by a flowable molecular layer of the phospholipid and is protected from contact with the lipolytic enzyme located on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Fats in the body lose part of the phospholipid layer when hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) secrete from the adrenal glands and hormones such as norepinephrine (noradrenaline) secreted from the sympathetic nerves. Next, the remains come into direct contact with the endoplasmic reticulum, and lipolysis is initiated. The fat is decomposed into glycerol and free fatty acids, and the degradation products are released from the cells into the blood and eventually burned or lost by exercise. The final product is excreted from the body as CO2 and H2O through urine and / or respiration.

Referring to FIG. 2, the fat melting medical device using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasound according to the present invention includes two independent touch panel-type monitor units and handpieces 30 installed on the upper and lower sides.

In the upper and lower two monitor parts according to the present invention, the upper part is an impedance measurement and measurement result display part 10 in which impedance measurement and result are displayed. The operator senses fatty tissue rather than normal tissues, And an ultrasonic / RF control unit 20 for controlling the ultrasonic wave and the high frequency of the transducer are installed

3 is a perspective view of a handpiece, which is an embodiment of a fat-melting medical device using an electromagnetic RF and a high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave according to the present invention.

The handpiece 30 of the present invention includes a front portion of the handpiece 30, which is connected to the fat impedance measuring portion 42 for performing a fat melting procedure. A transducer 52 for irradiating a high-intensity focusing ultrasonic wave, a pair of electrodes 54 for generating high-frequency waves, and a piezoelectric element constituted by the electrodes 54, And a vacuum tube 70 connected to an external vacuum generator and generating a vacuum at a portion contacting the skin. This vacuum is covered by a transparent cap 56 for good formation.

In the present invention, in order to melt the fat by the impedance measuring method, only the adipose tissue is detected from the impedance value measured by the impedance measuring unit 42, so that the physician who is the practitioner can confirm the accurate operation point in real time, It is possible to precisely perform the dermatological medical treatment in which the ultrasonic wave is irradiated by the transducer 52 of the present invention to melt the fat.

As described above, the configuration of the impedance measuring unit 42 according to the present invention can increase the stability of the procedure in the fat-melting procedure inside the skin tissue by the highly integrated ultrasonic waves.

4A to 4D are a bottom view and a side view, respectively, of another embodiment of the handpiece according to the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C, a transceiver for generating a high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave between a pair of electrodes 54 for generating high-frequency waves, when viewed from the bottom of the handpiece according to each embodiment of the present invention, And the transducer 52 and the electrode 54 are covered by the cap 56. [

Referring to Fig. 4d, a hand part of a new embodiment 50 is shown. In a new embodiment, a roller-shaped electrode 54 for irradiating high-frequency RF is provided. While the transducer 52 is irradiated with high-frequency ultrasonic waves to decompose adipocytes, the electrodes 54 of the pair of rollers perform the work of flattening the disassembled adipocytes of the skin portion sucked by the negative pressure.

In addition, the pair of roller-shaped electrodes 54 rub against the skin sucked into the cap 56 by negative pressure while irradiating a high frequency while the electrode 54 is slit in the center direction, .

5 is a cross-sectional view of the handpiece according to the present invention in a cut-away state.

5, a transducer 52 for generating a high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave is installed at the center of the transducer 52, and a high-frequency A pair of electrodes 54 for generating a voltage is provided.

Generally, in order to decompose the fat in the subcutaneous fat layer, the temperature of the treatment site should be raised to about 50 degrees Celsius. The concentrated ultrasonic wave of the trend ducer 52 according to the present invention raises the temperature of the treated region by 39 to 40 degrees and converts the high frequency energy into thermal energy by the high frequency generated by the RF electrode 54, The temperature of the focal point 60 is increased by about 10 degrees centigrade.

A cooling element 58 composed of a piezoelectric element is provided so as to be in contact with each electrode 54 of the present invention to cool the heat generated by the electrode 54. [ The temperature of the electrode 54 of the present invention is lowered to prevent the external skin from being burned even when the electrode 54 is brought into contact with the skin, So that the high-frequency wave is converged to the focal point 60 corresponding to the operation site.

In addition, a vacuum tube 70 is formed to penetrate the cap portion 56, which is in contact with the skin, to be connected to an external vacuum generator (not shown) for generating vacuum. When a vacuum is generated from an external vacuum generator, a negative pressure is generated inside the cap 56, and the skin is adsorbed by the negative pressure, so that the practitioner does not have to push the treatment part against the skin of the operator. Therefore, fat dissection can proceed to a certain depth in the subcutaneous fat layer.

6 is a comparative diagram for explaining the effect of the irradiation method of the fat melting medical device using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave according to the present invention.

6A, when the transducer 52 is used to perform the fat fusion procedure using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave, the intensity of the ultrasonic wave generated from the transducer 52 must be increased Only fat melting can be done.

In the case of performing the fat fusion procedure using only the transducer 52 for generating the high-intensity focused ultrasound wave, the intensity of the ultrasound applied to the focal point 60, which is the treatment region, is increased by, for example, The high energy is transferred to the focal point 60 only by the transducer 52, and damage to nerve cells, blood vessels, etc. of the operation site may occur unintentionally during the procedure. The numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 shown in the figure illustrate the intensity of the ultrasonic waves at respective positions.

Referring to FIG. 6 (b), in the fat melting medical device using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave according to the present invention, a pair of electrodes 54 generating a high frequency is installed via the transducer 52 do. Since the transducer 52 of the present invention raises the temperature around the focal point 60 by the high frequency generated by the electrode 54 in the case of irradiating the ultrasonic wave of low energy toward the focal point 60 which is the treatment region of fat melting Even with low energy, fat fusion can be performed properly.

According to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 (b), the intensity of the ultrasonic waves irradiated from the transducer 52 to the focus 60, which is a treatment site, The heat is concentrated around the focal point 60 by the high frequency generated in the focal point 60, and the focal point 60, which is the treatment region, has the thermal effect as in the case where the high energy ultrasonic wave is irradiated as shown in (a) of FIG.

In conclusion, even if there is blood vessels or nerves in the vicinity of the focal point 60, which is the operation site during the fat melting procedure, the physician who is the practitioner greatly reduces the possibility of damaging these organs. In addition, even if the focal point 60 is misidentified, the probability that the internal nerves or vascular tissues will be destroyed due to strong ultrasonic waves is very low.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the transducer 52 does not need to generate high-energy ultrasonic waves, the service life of the transducer 52 can be prolonged, and therefore, the exchange of the procedure unit 50 in which the transducer 52 is provided The longer the cycle, the more economical it will be for hospitals.

The treatment section 50 is configured to receive liquid such as water 54 for delivery of ultrasonic waves.

In the present invention, only the fat tissue is melted out of the impedance resultant values measured at the focal point 60 where the ultrasonic wave and the high frequency are irradiated through the impedance measuring unit 42.

The ultrasonic transducer 52 used in the fat melting medical device using the electromagnetic RF and the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic wave according to the present invention shown in Fig. 7 converts the ultrasonic wave generated from the concave ultrasonic transducer 52 into a trans- Converges to a concave center point of the ducer 52, and the ultrasound focusing point is formed at this center point.

The ultrasonic transducer 52 according to the present invention is installed in the treatment unit 50 which is a closed case and the inside of the treatment unit 50 is filled with liquid such as water 4. [ The reason for filling the liquid such as the water 4 is that the ultrasonic wave generated from the highly integrated ultrasonic transducer 52 acts as a medium for transferring the ultrasonic wave into the skin tissue 62 of the subject to be treated and is generated in the highly integrated ultrasonic transducer 52 And also serves to cool the heat that is generated.

The ultrasonic transducer 52 also acts as a medium for transmitting focused ultrasonic waves to the skin tissue 62 of the subject to be treated.
