ABSTRACT:
A tissue-sculpting device includes a tube having an aperture at a distal end of the tube, the aperture extending along a side portion of the tube. At least a portion of the aperture is defined by a fixed, sharpened knife edge for cutting tissue and directing the cut tissue into the tube. A fixed support bridge prevents tissue which is adjacent the tissue being cut from entering the aperture. In the method of the invention, the distal end of the tissue-sculpting tube is moved through fatty tissue so as to cut the fatty tissue with the knife edge, and direct the cut fatty tissue into the tube, thereby removing the cut fatty tissue from the animal's body.
