Patent

CA 2396027

A device is described that can be used by surgeons to provide quick and accurate face-lifting maneuvers that minimize the amount of tissue that has to be removed. The device is comprised of a shaft with a relatively planar but possibly lenticulate and even slightly curved tip that can divide and energize various tissue planes causing contraction especially via the fibrous tissues. Various forms of energy can be delivered down the shaft to heat and cause desirable tissue contraction. The device can also include a temperature sensor that can be used to control power output.

L'invention concerne un dispositif pouvant être utilisé par des chirurgiens: ce dispositif permet des opérations de lifting facial rapides et précises minimisant la quantité de tissu devant être retiré. Ce dispositif comprend une tige dotée d'une pointe relativement plane mais pouvant être éventuellement lenticulaire et même légèrement recourbée. Cette pointe serve à diviser et à exciter différents plans tissulaires entraînant une contraction, surtout à travers les tissus fibreux. Différentes formes d'énergie peuvent être amenées le long de la tige en vue de chauffer et d'entraîner une contraction souhaitée du tissu. Le dispositif peut également comprendre un capteur de température pouvant être utilisé afin de commander la sortie d'énergie.
