US Patent:

6432101, Aug 13, 2002

Filed:

Jan 5, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/478172

Inventors:

Paul J. Weber - Fort Lauderdale FL
Luiz B. DaSilva - Danville CA
Michael Robert Weber - Clearwater FL

Assignee:

Pearl Technology Holdings, LLC - Tampa FL

International Classification:

A61B 1818

US Classification:

606 2, 606 9

Abstract:

A device is described that can be used by surgeons to provide quick and accurate face-lifting maneuvers that minimize the amount of tissue that has to be removed. The device comprises of a hollow undermining shaft with specially designed tip that can safely separate tissue planes and lyse fibrous tissue. Laser light can be delivered down the shaft to heat and cause tissue contraction. Device can also include a temperature sensor that can be used to control laser power. Optionally the device can also use ultrasound or electrosurgical energy to improve tissue lysing.

Paul J. Weber - Fort Lauderdale FL

Michael Robert Weber - Palm Harbor FL

Assignee:

Pearl Technology Holdings, LLC. - Tampa FL

International Classification:

A61B 1818

US Classification:

606 2, 606 9, 606 13

Abstract:

The human face is efficiently and precisely dissected while radioifrequency energy is applied to controllably release target tissue bonds and alter surrounding tissues in such a fashion that these facial tissues contract and tighten in response to the energy application while automatically excluding vital nerves and vessels. Tightening will be most dramatic in younger patients between 45 and 55 years of age such that the surgeon may not have to cut-out or stretch skin for a desirable effect in most of this population. The device is inserted through only 3 relatively small 1 cm incisions allowing energy to be applied to the upper subcutaneous, lower dermal and platysmal face-lift layers. The procedures take less than 15 minutes following anesthesia and the effects will last for at least several years. The special arrangement of protrusions and recessions on the tip of the instrument allows the surgeon to efficiently force the device through face-lift planes with instantaneous knowledge of the location and progress simply by the âfeelâ of the apparatus. Vibrational energy and optional ultrasonic means will yield speed enhancement and tip debris and char reduction.

Appl. No.:

10/037053

Inventors:

Paul J. Weber - Fort Lauderdale FL
Michael Robert Weber - Palm Harbor FL
Luiz B. Da Silva - Danville CA

Assignee:

Pearl Technology Holdings, LLC - Livermore CA

International Classification:

A61B 1818

US Classification:

606 2, 606 9, 606 13

Abstract:

A device is described that can be used by surgeons to provide accurate tissue-lifting and tightening maneuvers that uses minimal external incisions, enhances accuracy, reduces inadvertent consequences while speeding the procedure. The device is comprised of a shaft with a relatively planar but possibly lenticulate or even slightly curved tip that can divide and energize various tissue planes causing net contraction via the fibrous tissue modification. Various forms of energy can also be delivered to cause desirable tissue alterations.
