Computerized suction lipectomy aspirator monitor for improved results in suction lipectomy.

A new computerized suction aspirator monitor is described. This device offers the benefits of instantaneous and concurrent scientifically accurate readout of aspirate contents in five separate bodily areas. Thus knowledge of amounts of blood versus fat can be immediately known without resorting to guess, estimate, or cumbersome lipocrit determination by centrifuging. Advantages of such a device include better accuracy in determination of fat removal from each area, with improvement of symmetrical fat removal. More exact determination of blood loss with improved hemodynamic replacement is also more easily and safely accomplished. In an area of mystique, experience, artistry, and aesthetic appreciation which has cloaked the initial enthusiasm for suction lipectomy, a new generation of scientific accuracy is now possible. Thus accurate determination of aspirate content vis-a-vis fat and blood can now transform this procedure into a more sophisticated and scientifically accurate operation which traditionally is desired by most practitioners of suction lipectomy.
