Sound Surgical Technologies has received FDA approval for its PowerX Lipo System. The PowerX is a power-assisted liposuction device that promises to bring optimal control, improve aspiration time and reduce physician fatigue. It features a powered handpiece that causes the attached cannula to rotate based on predetermined angle and speed settings with multiple user settings to allow for a wide array of body contouring applications. Excerpt from the press release and a short video:
The unique rotational motion generated by the system allows physicians to remove fatty tissue all the way around the cannula, rather than just above or below the ports. The powered handpiece speeds up traditional liposuction cases, but unlike other power-assisted devices, the handpiece is very lightweight and vibration is minimal. The PowerX System fits conveniently on top of the VentX Infiltration and Aspiration System by Sound Surgical Technologies, and the PowerX handpiece is vented providing continuous, uninterrupted suction. A wide range of speed and angle settings allows the physician to tailor the treatment to each patient’s needs.
