Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080197517DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY LYSING CELLS - A device for generating microbubbles in a gas and liquid mixture and injection device, the device comprising: a housing defining a mixing chamber; means for mixing solution contained in the mixing chamber to generate microbubbles in the solution; a needle array removably attached to the housing and in fluid connection with the mixing chamber, the needle array including at least one needle; and at least one pressure sensor for measuring tissue apposition pressure, the pressure sensor being mounted on one of the housing and the needle array.08-21-2008
20080200863DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY LYSING CELLS - A system comprising: a container containing a measured amount of a solution including at least one of a vasoconstrictor, a surfactant, and an anesthetic, the solution comprising a liquid and at least one of a gas and a fluid; a needle array in fluid connection with the container, the needle array including at least one needle.08-21-2008
20080200864DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY LYSING CELLS - A device comprising a housing defining a mixing chamber; means for mixing solution contained in the mixing chamber to generate microbubbles in the solution; a needle array removably attached to the housing and in fluid connection with the mixing chamber, the needle array including at least one needle; and means for adjusting a needle insertion depth of the at least one needle.08-21-2008
20080248554DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY LYSING CELLS - A device for generating microbubbles in a gas and liquid mixture and injection device, the device comprising: a housing defining a mixing chamber; means for mixing solution contained in the mixing chamber to generate microbubbles in the solution; a needle array removably attached to the housing and in fluid connection with the mixing chamber, the needle array including at least one needle; and a machine readable identifier on the needle array.10-09-2008
20090093723ULTRASOUND DEVICE INCLUDING DISPENSER - An ultrasound device, comprising: a housing; an ultrasound transducer disposed within the housing, the transducer having a wear layer; at least one port formed in the housing; a lubricant reservoir operably connected to the at least one port; and a pump in fluid connection with the lubricant reservoir, the pump dispensing lubricant from the reservoir through the at least one port.04-09-2009
20090093737ULTRASOUND APPARATUS WITH TREATMENT LENS - An ultrasound apparatus comprising an ultrasound transducer having a geometric focus; an acoustic lens assembly acoustically coupled to the ultrasound transducer; wherein the acoustic lens assembly includes a focal layer that serves to increase relative acoustic pressure in a treatment region proximal to the transducer's geometric focus.04-09-2009
20090093738DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A TREATMENT AREA - A method for monitoring the amount of treatment delivered by a treatment device, comprising: providing a treatment device including at least one activation element; applying a reactive agent to a treatment area, the reactive agent reacting to energy delivered by the at least one activation element; actuating the treatment device and the activation element to deliver treatment.04-09-2009
20100228182DISSECTION HANDPIECE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE - A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.09-09-2010
