First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for removal of fatty tissue, comprising:
- a housing having a distal end and a probe end;
an ultrasonic generating means contained within said housing;
a solid monolithic push rod in communication with said ultrasonic generating means, said push rod extending from said ultrasonic generating means to said probe end of said housing; and
a probe attached to said push rod, wherein said push rod is constructed of a first material and said probe is constructed of a second material, said first material being different from said second material.

Abstract
An ultrasonic surgical liposuction apparatus comprises a piezoelectric cral transducer assembly is connectable with a push rod house within the housing which allows the use of interchangeable operative probe and tip. The probe can be hollow, if aspiration of the fatty tissue is desired, or it can be solid.
