ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for mechanically-assisted liposuction treatment. The apparatus includes a hand-holdable housing, a cannula, and a reciprocation mechanism. The hand-holdable housing has a cavity adaptable for receipt of a portion of the cannula. The cannula has a distal end and a proximal end and at least one suction aperture about the distal end. The cannula also has a base portion which is operably associated with the proximal end and insertable within the cavity so that the cannula is free to reciprocate relative to the housing. The reciprocation mechanism is disposed within the housing and is operably associated with the cannula so that the cannula can be selectively caused to reciprocate relative to the housing. The cannula is releasably detachable from the hand-holdable housing to facilitate cleaning and sterilization of the cannula and the housing.
