BIOLASE Granted New Waterlase Cosmetic Surgery Patent
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq: BLTI - news), announced today that it was granted a significant new patent
to use its HydroKinetic® technology for liposuction and other cosmetic soft
tissue procedures.
Since HydroKinetic technology uses a laser combined with
atomized water spray, BIOLASE expects the system in this patent to have
significant benefits over conventional liposuction, such as reduced bleeding,
less bruising, less trauma and less post-operative discomfort.
When compared
with other possible laser methods, HydroKinetics is expected to provide more effective cutting and removal of tissue without thermal damage, char or
potentially harmful smoke.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,
lipoplasty (liposuction) was the most popular and fastest-growing surgical
cosmetic procedure, increasing 31% from 1999 to 2000 for a total of
376,633 procedures in the United States.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery ranked
second among surgical procedures, up 16% to 212,133 procedures.
Breast
augmentation was third, rising 6% to 203,310 procedures.
Ioana Rizoiu, the named inventor and vice president of clinical research
at BIOLASE, commented, ``This is both a device and method patent.
It is very
broad in regards to electromagnetic energy including the entire spectrum of
laser wavelengths and any and all sources of radiation, including all RF and
electrical sources.
This patent was filed as part of our overall, long-term
patent strategy and is only one of many others pending approval.``
Jeffrey W. Jones, BIOLASE CEO and president, explained, ``This innovative
patent expands the intellectual property of our HydroKinetic technology and is
an important addition to our overall patent portfolio.
This is another
important step to expand the intellectual property for the numerous fields and
applications of our core technology.
At this time, BIOLASE intends to keep
its current focus on dentistry.
We will explore the feasibility of alliances
and licensing for certain applications and expanded development.``

Nachbörslich gingen immerhin noch 35000 für 6.35 über den Tisch.

Wie die damit optimaler das Fett absaugen sollen, ist mir noch unklar.
Aber das werden wir ja dann irgendmal bei einem der privaten Trivialsender sehen können.
