Why is the Syringe System more gentle and effective than using a vacuum machine?
The best way to explain this would be to consider an analogy. If you have ever used a vacuum cleaner, and moved it from a smooth (wood, linoleum, etc.) surface onto a heavy pile carpet area, you will hear and feel the increased resistance. This rise and fall of pressure and vacuum produces a cavitation effect, resulting in more damage to the underlying tissues (fat, skin, muscle, etc.). The syringe is different, in that, it uses fluid to displace the air in the system prior to placement of the cannula. Now incisions are replaced by small puncture openings (3 mm), followed by insertion of the small cannula into position before drawing back the syringe plunger to apply any vacuum. Since the syringe does not allow any air to be involved in the system, there are no pressure changes at the opening tip of the cannulas. This major advance has resulted in less swelling, less bruising, increased volumes able to be safely removed in a single stage, shortened recovery, decreased pain medication n
