DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a fat ripping apparatus according to preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention can be divided into a first embodiment as a fat decomposition apparatus having a skin sucking the skin and a second embodiment as a non-inhaled fat decomposition apparatus which does not have a separate housing and is in contact with the skin to decompose fat have.

First Embodiment

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing a fat decomposition apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a section taken along line I-I 'of FIG.

1 to 3, the lipolysis apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a housing 101, a cooling pack 120, and a suction module 130.

The housing 101 can suck the region to be treated for fat decomposition for the purpose of cryolipolysis.

To this end, the housing 101 may be provided with a receiving space 102 for receiving the skin sucked inward.

The housing 101 may have a contact portion 110 to be in contact with the skin that is sucked into the inside of the housing 101.

The contact portions 110 are provided in the shape of a plate through faces facing each other in the housing 101.

Particularly, it is preferable that the contact portion 110 is provided with a material having high thermal conductivity. For example, the contact portion 110 may be provided with a metal, for example, aluminum or copper.

The contact portion 110 is a portion directly contacting the skin that is sucked into the housing 101 and is cooled to a temperature set by the cooling action of the cooling pack 120, It can bring about a decomposition effect on fat.

The housing 101 may be provided with a closed structure in which all the surfaces except the surface facing the skin are sealed so as to more effectively suck the region to be treated. As an example, it can be provided in the form of a container, such as a cup, as shown in FIG.

The material of the housing 101 may be preferably selected for effective adhesion with the tissue to be treated. As the material of the housing 101, for example, resins such as PVC, PT, PET, PTEF and the like may be used. As another example, the material of the housing 101 may be made of a material such as rubber.

In this way, the material of the housing 101 can be variously adjusted for effective adhesion with the tissue to be treated.

The suction module 130 may be connected to the housing 101 to provide a suction pressure to the housing 101. The suction pressure may be for receiving the subject tissue into the housing 101. Since the frozen fat decomposition dissolves selectively by cooling the adipose tissue, it is necessary to reduce blood circulation to the tissue to be treated for effective freezing. That is, if the blood circulation of the tissue to be treated is normally performed, the cooling efficiency of the adipose tissue deteriorates, and the frozen fat dissolving effect may be deteriorated. Accordingly, the suction module 130 may force the tissue to be treated to the housing 101 to reduce the blood circulation of the tissue to be treated, thereby contributing to the improvement of the freeze fat dissolution efficiency.

The suction module 130 may include a suction line 131 and various types of suction members (not shown).

One end of the suction line 131 may be connected to a suction port 103 provided in the housing 101.

And a suction line 131 connected to the suction module through the suction port 103 may be connected.

The suction module 130 may be a manually operated pump member or a vacuum pump or the like. In addition, various suction members may be used.

For example, as shown in the drawing, the suction module 130 may be a handle-type suction device that is conventionally used in a medical treatment device such as a valve. In this case, the suction lever 135 which is pulled in the form of a handle and the suction cylinder 133 which provides the suction pressure to the inside of the housing through the suction line 131 in accordance with the pulling operation of the suction lever have.

The cooling pack 120 may be coupled to the contact portion 110 to cool the fat in the skin.

To this end, the cooling pack 120 may have an outer case having an inner accommodation space and a cold catalyst material filled in the accommodation space. The outer case may be fabricated in the form of a generally flexible tube or in the form of a rigid block.

The outer case of the cooling pack 120 is fastened to the contact portion 110 of the housing 101 in a forced fit manner or can be detachably attached to the housing 101 by a predetermined fixing member such as a screw or a pin Can be designed.

Various materials may be used as the cold catalyst material.

As an example, a cool pack made of an ammonium nitrate solid powder can be used. When the impact is applied from the outside, the cool pack is mixed with water to cause a dissociation phenomenon. At this time, the cool pack may take up the surrounding temperature and exhibit a cooling effect.

As another example, the microcapsules may be used. The microcapsule is known as a so-called PCM (Phase Change Material) capsule. The microcapsule can be configured to exhibit a cooling effect by absorbing heat by repeating endothermic and exothermic reactions through a phase change according to an external temperature.

As another example, an ice gel may be used. The ice gel may contain a gel-type refrigerant known in the art in a hermetically sealed container.

The cooling pack 120 may be stored in a freezer compartment of a refrigerator such as a general household or a skin beauty shop, and may be cooled down to a predetermined cooling temperature by a refrigeration operation. The cooling temperature of the cooling pack 120 may be approximately -9 ° C or less. If the cooling temperature of the cooling pack 120 is higher than about -9 ° C, it is considered that the cooling pack 120 indirectly freezes the tissue to be treated through the contact portion 110. In this case, It may be difficult to freeze the tissue to be treated with a temperature of about -9 캜, which is a suitable temperature for fat decomposition. Therefore, it is preferable that the cooling temperature of the cooling pack 120 is set to be equal to or somewhat lower than the preset temperature so that the temperature received by the subject tissue during the actual frozen fat dissolution procedure may satisfy a preset temperature can do.

When the fat decomposition procedure is required, the cooling pack 120 cooled to a predetermined cooling temperature can be taken out of the refrigerator and fastened to the contact portion 110 in a detachable manner, and then used for the procedure.

As a preferred method, during the fat decomposition procedure, the cooling pack 120 may be continuously used while a plurality of the cooling packs 120 are used in turn.

Since the cooling pack 120 itself does not have a precise temperature control function, it is important that the cooling pack maintains a constant cooling temperature (e.g., -9 DEG C) during the procedure.

For example, if the time required for the fat decomposition procedure is approximately 30 to 40 minutes, the cooling pack 120 must be able to maintain a predetermined cooling temperature for the time.

The predetermined cooling temperature may be a cooling temperature received by the skin tissue accommodated in the housing 101 or a cooling temperature of the contact portion 110 during the freezing fat dissolving procedure.

According to a preferred embodiment, the cooling temperature can be adjusted from approximately -9 ° C to -1 ° C.

If the cooling temperature is lower than -9 占 폚, side effects such as frostbite or necrosis of skin tissue may occur. On the other hand, when the cooling temperature exceeds -1 캜, the effect of freezing fat dissolving treatment can be significantly deteriorated. And for a sufficient effect of the frozen lipolysis procedure, the cooling temperature may be more preferably less than about -5 [deg.] C. It is preferable that the cooling temperature is set to be as low as possible to prevent frostbite or necrosis of the tissue to be treated, and therefore it is most preferable that the cooling temperature is set to be close to -9 DEG C .

Also, the cooling pack 120 may be provided with a temperature indicator (not shown) for exposing the cooling temperature of the cooling pack to the outside. The user (for example, a practitioner) can easily know through the temperature display unit whether the cooling temperature of the cooling pack 120 is maintained at a certain level.

As the temperature display unit, various temperature display devices can be used.

As an example, the temperature indicator may be an electronic thermometer.

As another example, the temperature indicator may be provided as a mark whose color changes according to the temperature of the cooling pack. In this case, the mark may be displayed in one color at a predetermined temperature of the cooling pack, and may be displayed in a different color when the temperature is out of the predetermined temperature.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the fat decomposition procedure is performed using the fat decomposition apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the skin may be sucked into the receiving space 102 inside the housing 101. In addition, the cooling pack 120 may be fastened to the contact portion 110 provided on both sides of the housing 101 in a detachable manner.

At this time, the skin 10, the dermis 20 and the fat tissue 30 inhaled can be directly contacted to the contact portion 110. [ The contact portion 110 is cooled by heat conduction with the cooling pack 120 that has been previously stored in a refrigerator or the like and maintained at a predetermined cooling temperature (T ° C), so that the fat tissue 30 can be disassembled.

Meanwhile, since the cooling pack 120 itself does not have a precise temperature control function, it is preferable that the cooling pack 120 is provided with a structure that can be maintained at a predetermined cooling temperature during a procedure time.

The cooling pack 120 may be provided with a temperature indicator (not shown) for exposing real-time temperature to the outside. When the temperature is higher than the cooling temperature required for the operation, a new cooling pack 120 ) Can be removed and replaced.

In this way, even if the hospital is not a specialized hospital, it is possible to easily receive the procedure using freezing fat decomposition in a general household or a skin care shop, and the operation can be performed at a lower cost.
