Abstract

A skin protector and accessories for protection of the skin incision during ultrasonic-assisted liposuction from thermal and frictional abrasion includes a skin protector made from sterilizable material which resists deformation and incorporates an outer configuration to assist in maintaining in situ positioning of the skin protector during operative procedure. An introducer member for blunt dissection of a tunnel is provided to allow easy insertion of the skin protector and ultrasonic probe. A driver member for dilatation of the skin incision, and for insertion and removal of the skin protector is also provided to assist in the use of the skin protector, properly speaking.
