Description

High frequency liposuction device

The present invention relates to a high frequency liposuction apparatus. In more detail, by using a high frequency power source, deep heat is generated inside the human body to dissolve or softly change the fat layer of the part to be inhaled, thereby easily inhaling fat, and the force required by the user is reduced during the operation. The present invention relates to a high frequency liposuction device which is easy and reduces the pain of a patient during a procedure.

Liposuction is a rapidly growing field of plastic surgery that removes excess fat deposits in the human body. According to this liposuction, there is an advantage that can easily remove the fat of the area difficult to remove by exercise or diet, etc. as needed. In addition, methods such as exercise or diet only reduce the size of fat cells, it is difficult to suppress the thickening of the fat layer in the future, while liposuction has the advantage that this problem is much reduced because it reduces the number of fat cells.

Conventional liposuction is generally performed by inserting a cannula having a thin pipe shape into the fat layer, and then separating and destroying fat cells by moving the cannula back and forth in the fat layer to inhale and remove fat. . However, conventional liposuction has a problem in that when the cannula is moved forward and backward in the fat layer, the surrounding fat layer or muscle layer is damaged. Recently, in order to reduce the hassle of moving the cannula back and forth in the fat layer during liposuction, and to make liposuction easier, various methods such as a vibrating liposuction apparatus for sucking fat while vibrating the cannula back and forth have been developed.

However, the liposuction device according to the prior art still has a problem such that the user's force is relatively large when the cannula is moved, and thus, the operation is difficult, and fat is not sucked smoothly so that the patient feels great pain during the procedure.

Therefore, the present invention is invented to solve the problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to generate a deep heat in the fat layer inside the human body using a high frequency power source to dissolve or gently change the fat layer of the area to be inhaled easily It is to provide a high frequency liposuction apparatus that can suck fat.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a high frequency liposuction apparatus in which the force required by the user during the procedure is reduced and the operation is easy, and the pain of the patient is reduced during the procedure.

The present invention includes a cannula in which at least one suction hole is formed at one end of the hollow pipe to be inserted into the skin of the human body so as to suck fat; And it provides a liposuction electrode unit characterized in that the high-frequency power is applied to the cannula so that the suction hole is not closed.

In this case, the insulating member may be formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of all parts except for one side end portion in which the suction hole is formed among the portions inserted into the human body of the cannula.

In addition, the insulating member may be composed of an insulating coating layer formed through a coating process on the outer peripheral surface of the cannula.

In addition, the present invention, a high frequency generator for generating a high frequency power source; The liposuction electrode unit electrically connected to the high frequency generator to receive a high frequency power; And a counter electrode plate which is paired with the liposuction electrode unit to contact the human body so that a high frequency power is supplied from the liposuction electrode unit to the human body.

In this case, the cannula may further include a suction means disposed in communication with the internal space of the cannula through the cannula to suck the fat in the human body.

In addition, the cannula may be equipped with a separate temperature sensor in a portion adjacent to the portion where the suction hole is formed.

According to the present invention, by inserting the liposuction electrode unit receiving the high frequency power from the high frequency generator into the fat layer in the human body to generate deep heat in the fat layer, the fat layer of the portion to be inhaled is dissolved or changed smoothly and thus fat There is an effect that can be easily inhaled.

In addition, the fat layer is dissolved by deep heat caused by a high frequency power source, so that the user's manipulation of the cannula is easy and the pain of the patient is alleviated during the liposuction procedure.

In addition, by insulating the portions of fat absorbing in the liposuction electrode unit and insulating the remaining portions, deep heat generation is concentrated in the region of liposuction, which is a non-isolated section, to further promote the dissolution of fat in the liposuction region, In particular, micro-heat is generated in the inner space of the insulating section through which the sucked fat passes, so that the suctioned fat is more smoothly transferred.

In general, high-frequency medical devices apply high-frequency power to the human body to convert electrical energy into bioenergy, and promote fat metabolism and muscle movement through deep heat generated by using such bioenergy to treat obesity, strengthen muscles, Medical device used for skin care, hair promotion or pain relief. Since the high frequency power source has a very short vibration width when it is energized by human tissue, almost no ion movement occurs and no electrochemical reaction or electrolysis occurs. When the high frequency power is energized in the human body, heat is generated in the tissue, and this is called deep heat. The reason for the deep heat is generated whenever the direction of the power is changed when electric energy of high frequency is applied to the human body. As the molecules vibrate, they rub against each other to generate biothermal heat by rotational, torsional, and collisional motions. Therefore, the high frequency power source can heat a specific part of the body tissue without causing discomfort or muscle contraction in the human body, and the deep heat generated increases the temperature of the tissue to enhance the function of the cells and increase blood flow. Plays a role. As a result, the metabolism and muscle movement of the human body are promoted, and the effect of obesity treatment, muscle strengthening, skin care, hair promotion or pain relief can be obtained.

The high frequency liposuction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device for easily inhaling fat by dissolving the fat layer to be inhaled by generating deep heat in the fat layer to be inhaled / removed using such a high frequency power source. As shown in FIG. 1, a liposuction electrode unit 210 having a high frequency generator 100, a cannula 211 for liposuction, and a counter plate 300 for energizing high frequency power to a human body include: It can also be configured to further comprise a suction means 400 for sucking fat through the cannula 211.

The high frequency generator 100 includes a power supply unit 110, an oscillator 120, an amplifier 130, a level adjuster 140, and an output unit 150.

The power supply unit 110 supplies power required for each component of the high frequency generation unit 100, and the oscillation unit 120 converts the AC power supplied from the power supply unit 110 into high frequency power, and the amplification unit 130 is an oscillation unit. Amplifies the high frequency power converted at 120. The level adjuster 140 adjusts the intensity of the high frequency power, and the output unit 150 outputs the intensity-adjusted high frequency power to the electrode unit 210 and simultaneously outputs the reference power to the counter electrode 300. Perform. The high frequency power generated by the high frequency generator 100 is output to the electrode unit 210, and the reference power generated by the high frequency generator 100 is output to the counter electrode 300, thereby outputting the high frequency power to the electrode unit 210. Deep heat is generated between the electrode unit 210 and the counter plate 300 according to the polarity of the.

The liposuction electrode unit 210 includes a liposuction cannula 211 having an electric / thermal conductor property in the form of a hollow thin pipe, and an insulating member surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the cannula 210 in some section of the cannula 211. 213). For the sake of simplicity, the cannula 211 wrapped in the insulating member 213 of the liposuction electrode unit 210 is referred to as an insulating part, and is inserted into the human fat layer, which is not wrapped in the insulating member 213. The cannula 211, which is in contact with the fat layer in time, is referred to as a non-insulated part.

The cannula 211 is inserted into the fat layer in the skin of the human body to suck fat and is formed in the shape of a hollow circular pipe, and at least one suction hole 212 is formed at one end thereof, and thus the fat is sucked through the suction hole 212. It is inhaled. In this case, the cannula 211 may be formed in such a way that one end of the non-insulated portion inserted into the human body is closed and the other end of the insulating portion is opened as shown in FIG. 3 for smooth liposuction. Both stages may be configured to be open. In addition, the suction holes 212 formed in the cannula 211 may be formed in plural so as to be arranged in a line along the circumferential direction of the cannula 211 as shown in FIG. 3. A plurality may be formed to be arranged in a line along the length direction of the cannula 211, and as long as at least one is formed, the arrangement state may be variously changed.

The cannula 211 is configured to receive high frequency power from the high frequency generator 100 by being electrically connected to the high frequency generator 100 and the cable 500 as shown in FIG. 1. Accordingly, a deep heat is generated in the human body between the cannula 211 and the charging plate 300 of the non-insulated portion, and the cannula 211 of the non-insulated portion is smaller than the size of the charging plate 300 and thus, High deep heat is generated in the human fat layer located in the cannula 211. Therefore, deep heat is generated in the region around the cannula 211 of the non-insulated portion inserted into the human body, so that the fat layer around the cannula 211 of the non-insulated portion is dissolved or changed to a weak viscosity, thereby easily inhaling the cannula 211. Fat can be sucked through the ball 212.

The insulating member 213 is formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the cannula 211 in some section of the cannula 211. That is, the suction hole 212 formed in one side end of the cannula 211 is formed only in a partial section that does not overlap with the suction hole 212. In this case, the insulating member 213 may be formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of all parts except for one end portion in which the suction hole 212 is formed among the portions inserted into the human body of the cannula 211 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. have. Therefore, in the region around the suction hole 212, that is, the non-insulated portion where fat is sucked, the high frequency power is directly transmitted to the human body through the cannula 211 to generate a relatively high core heat, and is surrounded by the insulating member 213. In deep areas, that is, insulated areas, relatively low core heat occurs. Therefore, when the electrode unit 210 passes through the fat layer, the fat layer around the suction hole 212 is easily dissolved by the relatively high deep heat generated around the suction hole 212, and more easily sucked into the cannula 211. Can be. In addition, the electrode unit 210 is easily transported to the fat layer by the relatively deep core heat generated around the suction hole 212, so that the user can easily manipulate the electrode unit 210 with little force, and the patient is treated after the treatment. Helps you feel less aftereffect and pain.

The insulating member 213 is to insulate the high frequency power input to the cannula 211 so as not to be directly transmitted to the human body as an insulating coating layer formed through a coating process on the outer circumferential surface of the cannula 211 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It may be configured, or may be configured by coupling a separate insulating pipe to the outer peripheral surface of the cannula 211. Through the insulation member 213, the deep heat generation can be further concentrated to the non-insulated portion, and the cannula 211 is inserted when the cannula 211 is moved back and forth in the human fat layer by generating a relatively weak deep heat in the insulation portion. Do not burn the skin outside the body. Furthermore, the cannula 211 of the insulated portion also generates deep heat to maintain a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature in the cannula 211 of the insulated portion where fat is sucked / extracted, so that the sucked fat is sucked along the insulated portion of the cannula. Allow to inhale / discharge easily without hardening.

On the other hand, the high-frequency liposuction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with the counter electrode 300 in contact with the human body to be paired with the electrode unit 210. The counter plate 300 is a plate shape formed of a conductive material and is electrically connected through the high frequency generator 100 and the cable 500, and the high frequency power applied from the electrode unit 210 is energized through the inside of the human body. The other side of the body is in contact with the body. The counter plate 300 operates as a reference power source for the electrode unit 210. For example, when + power is applied through the electrode unit 210 in response to a high frequency voltage transmitted to the human body through the electrode unit 210, the counter electrode 300 operates as a negative terminal and the electrode unit 210. Through-when power is applied, the counter plate 300 operates as a + terminal. In this case, the shape of the counter plate 300 may be formed in a square plate shape as shown in FIG. 1, but this may be changed into various shapes, except that the counter plate 300 is non-insulated of the cannula 211. It is preferred to be formed wider than the portion, details of which will be described later.

According to this configuration, the high frequency liposuction apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention receives high frequency power from the high frequency generator 100 to the cannula 211 of the electrode unit 210, and the high frequency power is supplied to the electrode unit 210. By energizing the counterplate 300 in contact with the opposite side of the human body to be contacted, deep heat is generated in the human body so that the fat layer for inhalation is dissolved or changed more smoothly, and thus fat through the suction hole 212 of the cannula 211. This is a structure that can be sucked more easily. That is, the non-insulated portion of the cannula 211 of the electrode unit 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention operates as an application electrode for directly applying high frequency power to the body, and the counter plate 300 energizes the applied high frequency power. It acts as an energizing electrode. Since the cannula 211 of the non-insulated portion has a smaller area in contact with the body than the conduction plate 300, a high deep heat is generated in the cannula 211 of the non-insulated portion and thus the suction hole of the cannula 211. Fat dissolved at 212 is easily inhaled.

On the other hand, such a high frequency suction device may be further provided with a separate suction means 400 for liposuction as described above, the suction means 400 is disposed in communication with the internal space of the cannula 211 cannula It is configured to suck the fat in the human body through the suction hole 212 of (211). For example, the suction means 400 is provided with a suction hose 410 to communicate with the interior space of the cannula 211, as shown in Figure 1, the inhaler 420 is provided at one end of the suction hose 410 It may be configured in a manner provided. The inhaler 420 is a device capable of sucking fat in general, and may be configured as a suction pump (not shown), a storage container (not shown), etc., which sucks a fluid using pressure. Since the configuration is generally known, details thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, the high frequency liposuction apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the suction means 400 is in communication with the internal space of the cannula 211, thereby forcing fat from the cannula 211 through the suction means 400. It is configured to suck through the suction hole 212 of the cannula 211, the fat in the human body can be sucked more smoothly. At this time, it is preferable that the handle unit 220 is formed in the electrode unit 210 to be gripped by the user for the procedure, as shown in Figure 1 and 3, the suction means on one side of the handle 220 The suction hose 410 of the 400 may be connected to be in communication with the internal space of the cannula 211. However, the connection method of the suction means 400 and the cannula 211 may be configured to be directly connected, it may be variously changed, such as may be detachably coupled through a separate connection means.

Meanwhile, the shapes of the liposuction electrode unit 210 according to different embodiments are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, respectively, and the electrode unit 210 is illustrated in FIG. 3A. As configured in the form of a straight pipe may be configured to be inserted obliquely in the human body. In this configuration, since the electrode unit 210 may not move smoothly when the electrode unit 210 moves horizontally in the human body horizontally for liposuction, it may be difficult to operate the electrode unit 210 as shown in FIG. It may be configured in a bent form. As such, when the electrode unit 210 is configured in a bent form, the electrode unit 210 may be horizontally disposed in the human body so that linear movement may be smoothly performed horizontally in the human body. Therefore, although it may be preferable that the electrode unit 210 is configured in a bent form as shown in FIG. 3B, it may be changed into various forms according to a patient's condition or a user's operation needs.

Next, look at the operating state of the high frequency liposuction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in more detail.

As shown in FIG. 4, the electrode unit 210 is disposed only in a portion of the cannula 211, so that the electrode unit 210 is insulated through the insulating member 213. And the non-insulated portion L1 that is not insulated, the non-insulated portion L1 may be formed only at one end of the cannula 211 in which the suction hole 212 is formed. Therefore, when the high frequency power is applied to the electrode unit 210 while the electrode unit 210 is inserted into the human body and the counter plate 300 is in contact with a part of the human body, the high frequency power corresponds to the electrode unit 210. Through the counterplate 300 is energized into the human body, thereby causing deep heat inside the human body.

At this time, since the non-insulated portion L1 of the electrode unit 210 has a relatively small area and directly energizes a high frequency power source into the human body, deep heat generated around the non-insulated portion L1 is concentrated and relatively high. Deep heat is generated in the non-insulated portion L1. That is, as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 4, deep heat is generated in the region P between the entire area of the electrode plate 300 and the non-insulating portion L1 of the electrode unit 210. ) Area is smaller than the area of the counter electrode 300, the density of the high frequency power supply is increased around the non-insulated portion (L1), thereby generating a high core heat. Therefore, since the deep core heat is generated at one end of the cannula 211 in which the suction hole 212 is formed, the fat layer is more smoothly dissolved or softly changed and can be easily sucked through the suction hole 212.

On the other hand, in the insulating portion (L2), the high-frequency power is minutely energized into the human body through the insulating member 213, and the core heat is generated. In the insulating portion (L2), the minute core heat is transferred to the cannula 211. Thus, heat is generated in the inner space of the cannula 211. Therefore, in the process of transporting fat sucked through the suction hole 212 from the non-insulated part L1 while passing through the insulating section L2, heat is generated in the inner space of the cannula 211 of the insulating part L2. Fat can be smoothly transferred to the suction means 400 side without solidifying in the insulating portion L2. That is, since the electrode unit 210 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is separated into a relatively small non-insulating portion L1 and a relatively large insulating portion L2, high core heat is generated in the non-insulating portion L1. It is configured to facilitate liposuction and to generate fine deep heat in the insulating portion L2 so that the sucked fat is smoothly transferred in a dissolved state without being solidified.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a separate temperature sensor 600 may be mounted to the non-insulating portion L1 of the electrode unit 210, and a cannula 211 adjacent to a portion where the suction hole 212 is formed. ) May be mounted on the outer circumferential surface. The temperature sensor 600 detects the temperature around the suction hole 212 of the non-insulated portion L1, and changes the intensity of the high frequency power source of the high frequency generator 100 according to the detected temperature, and heats the core in an appropriate state. Can be adjusted to occur.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
