Abstract
Abstract A fat sucking apparatus including a tip having a tubular body which defines therein a suction passage and which has at least one suction opening at the front lower end of the tubular body, a hand piece to which the tip is detachably connected and which has therein a suction passage which is connected to the suction passage of the tip, said hand piece being provided with an ultrasonic oscillation generating portion which transmits the ultrasonic oscillation to the tip, an outer tube in which the tip is slidably inserted and held and which is provided with at least one suction opening, an ultrasonic oscillator which generates and transmits an electric energy to the ultrasonic oscillation generating portion of the hand piece to supply it with the ultrasonic oscillation, a collector which is connected to the suction passage of the hand piece through a suction pipe to receive the fat, and a vacuum pump which is connected to the collector to suck the fat into the collector.
