Abstract

A method for removing adipose tissue uses an elongate rigid tube or probe member (14) hav-ing a distal end (16) and a proximal end, and an axially extending lumen (20). An incision is formed in a skin surface of a patient, the tube being inserted through the incision into subcuta-neous adipose tissues of the patient. Upon inser-tion of the tube through the incision, an ultrasonic pressure wave is generated at the proximal end of the tube, the waveform being transmitted through the tube to establish a standing wave therein. The standing ultrasonic wave in the insertion tube pro-duces cavitation bubbles at the distal end of the tube, the bubbles causing liquefaction of adipose tissues of the patient at a surgical site located dis-tally of the distal end of the insertion tube. Suc-tion is applied to the lumen of the tube, thereby aspirating the liquefied adipose tissues from the surgical site through the lumen. During the en-tire procedure, the distal end of the tube and the adipose tissues at the surgical site are maintained at approximately body temperature.
