Apparatus for making micro-abrasions, particularly on human tissue, including a handle having an aperture which is intended to be positioned on the surface to be treated, and a nipple device for the metered supply of reducing substances in a pneumatic carrier to the aperture of the handle. The supply device comprises only a vacuum source connected to the handle to draw the reducing substances towards the aperture of the handle. A collector device is provided for collecting the used substances for disposal.
A mixing bottle for a dermabrasion apparatus includes a casing, and a suction tube provided inside the casing. The suction tube includes at least one hole for receiving contents disposed within the casing. In one configuration, the mixing bottle is configured as a mono-block.
This invention is related to an apparatus for microdermoabrasion by means of a jet of a mixture of air and reducing crystals, and the associated handle. The apparatus is used in cosmetic surgery and/or dermatology and utilizes microdermoabrasion wherein a jet of reducing crystals is applied to human tissue. The jet of reducing crystals is, in particular, a jet of corundum crystals (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3).
A device for microdermoabrasion using a flow of a mixture of air and reducing substances, the device comprising a casing with a vacuum pump and a compressor at an interior of the casing. The device further comprising a control footswitch for actuating the compressor, a mixing bulb and a collecting bulb at an exterior of the casing, and a handpiece extending between the mixing bulb and the collecting bulb. The mixing bulb contains a mixture of air and reducing substances. The mixing bulb, the handpiece and the collecting bulb are monoblocks and are contained in a single cylinder block which is detachably connected to the casing.
A dermabrasion apparatus operating by a flow of air and reducing substances conveyed by a pneumatic system through a handpiece. The apparatus comprises a housing, a vacuum pump, and an external tray inside of which a mixing bottle and a collecting bottle are provided. The handpiece and the bottles are disposable sterilized components, and may be kept in a plastic bag for maintaining their sterility prior to use. The components may be subjected to gamma rays while in the plastic bag, in order to provide an additional level of sterilization.
An improved hand piece apparatus for use with abrasive cleaning devices uses a control switch that can be controlled manually by an operator to controllably regulate the amount a mixture of a pressurized air with abrasive particles at the nozzle head inlet port of the nozzle head assembly.
