20110166658 | SPINAL IMPLANT WITH ATTACHMENT SYSTEM - The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a spinal implant assembly having features to prevent or minimize fixation elements, such as screws, from being dislodged, or from backing out over time and with use. The spinal implant assembly may comprise an implantable body having first apertures for receiving fixation elements. A plate configured to nest against the posterior portion of the implantable body and comprising one or more second apertures can be provided. These second apertures permit access to the head portions of the fixation elements. One or more locking elements are then passed through the second apertures and engage the head portions of the fixation elements. In addition, the plate may comprise an adjustable arm to allow the plate to be used with implantable bodies of different size. | 07-07-2011 |

20100094267 | Confined Beam Laser Liposuction Handpiece - A cannula for a liposuction device includes a laser energy source for liquefying, emulsifying or softening fatty tissue at the cutting windows inside the distal tip end of the cannula. The energy source provides laser energy through an optical fiber positioned within said interior region of the cannula and extending though the cannula and having an end located at the distal tip end of the cannula adjacent the cutting windows. Fat is emulsified, liquefied or softened by the energy emitted into tissue at the cutting windows of the cannula and is removed by aspiration. In a confined laser beam power assisted embodiment, the openings in the cannula shear or cut neighboring fat tissue and the radiant energy at the cutting windows softens and/or emulsifies the tissue. | 04-15-2010 |
20110040287 | SURGICAL LIPOSUCTION INSTRUMENT WITH RADIANT ENERGY SOURCE - A cannula for a liposuction device includes an energy source for liquefying, emulsifying or softening fatty tissue near a tip end. The energy source can provide laser energy through a fiber optic cable, or can provide energy such as RF, ultrasound or IR/UV/Vis energy from a laser diode or the like. Fat is emulsified, liquefied or softened by the energy emitted from the cannula and is removed by aspiration through a series of holes disposed in the outside wall and at the distal end of the cannula. In a power assisted embodiment, the openings in the cannula shear or cut neighboring fat tissue. The tip of the cannula can be heated to promote skin tightening. | 02-17-2011 |
