Description

Apparatus and method for cannula liposuction amount experiment

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for testing the amount of liposuction of a cannula, and more particularly, to a combination of at least one or more of the size, shape, and number of the suction hole of the cannula by testing the amount of liposuction of the cannula for artificial adipose tissue. It relates to an apparatus and method for an experiment on cannula liposuction that enables the development of an optimal cannula by obtaining objective liposuction data according to the present invention.

In recent years, with the westernization of eating habits, the number of people suffering from obesity is increasing.

As living standards improve, meat consumption increases and exercise such as walking decreases, causing fat to accumulate in the body, leading to obesity.

Due to these lifestyle habits, complications and stress are frequently mentioned as social problems due to obesity problems such as childhood obesity and adult obesity. And interest in diet is increasing.

In particular, obesity is a cause of various diseases such as arteriosclerosis and diabetes, and accumulates on the surface of subcutaneous fat tissue or organs to change the body shape.

However, modern people, who usually do not have enough time to filter, are looking for a way to quickly change their body shape with the help of drugs and procedures, rather than dieting through exercise.

Liposuction is the most widely used method among various types of drugs and procedures.

Liposuction is a method of suctioning and removing fat by separating and destroying fat cells by inserting a cannula having a generally thin pipe shape into the fat layer and moving it back and forth.

1a and 1b are a perspective view and a state diagram showing a general liposuction cannula.

The cannula 10 for liposuction shown in FIG. 1A includes a cannula 12 that is inserted into the body's skin to suck fat, and the rear end of the cannula 12 is fixed so as to communicate and a hand held by the operator. It consists of a piece (14).

The cannula 12 is molded in the shape of a pipe with an empty inside, and the front end is closed and the rear end is open to allow the flow of fat, while a plurality of suction holes 16 are formed at the front end of the cannula 12. there is.

The suction hole 16 serves as an inlet through which fat is sucked, and is formed in three directions so that fat is simultaneously sucked through each direction.

On the other hand, the handpiece 14 is also molded into a hollow pipe shape. The front end is communicatively coupled to the rear end of the cannula 12, and the rear end is integrally formed with a connecting pipe for discharging the sucked fat and applying the suction force by pneumatic pressure.

The relationship of sucking fat using the liposuction cannula 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 1B as follows.

That is, in a state in which the connecting hose is inserted into the connecting tube formed at the rear end of the handpiece 14, the operator holds the handpiece 14 and inserts the tip of the cannula 12 into the skin.

In this state, when a suction force is generated by operating the liposuction device connected to the connecting hose, the fat in the skin is sucked through the suction hole 16 formed at the tip of the cannula 12, and the sucked fat is absorbed by the cannula 12 and the hand. It is discharged to the outside through the inside of the piece 14 and the connecting hose.

At this time, the operator continuously moves the cannula 10 for liposuction along the part of the fat to be sucked in the skin.

That is, since the suction hole 16 is formed only at the tip of the cannula 12, the position of the suction hole 16 is changed by continuously moving the cannula 12 in the front-rear direction or in the vertical and horizontal directions by a lever action, Make sure to evenly absorb the fat from the skin.

In liposuction, the size, shape, number, etc. of the suction hole of the cannula can be an important variable in determining the suction efficiency. In order to develop an optimal cannula, objective suction amount data according to the combination of the size, shape, and number of suction holes is required.

Therefore, the present invention intends to propose a method for testing the suction amount of the cannula.

Korea Patent No. 10-1511775 (2015.04.07) relates to a subcutaneous liposuction cannula, and a suction ball formed at the tip in a ring shape to uniformly form the surface of the subcutaneous fat layer on the surface of the tube body. It is characterized in that it further includes protrusions formed at equal intervals within the length of 1/3 of the total length of the tube toward the tube body.

Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0713008 (2007.04.24) relates to a cannula for liposuction, which is inserted into the skin of the human body to suck fat by suction force, and is provided with a cannula extending through one side of the body, In the cannula for liposuction in which a suction hole of a certain size is formed at the tip of the cannula, it is characterized in that the suction hole is extended in a spiral form by 1/2 of the total length of the cannula.
