PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove fatty tissue by controlling heat transfer to the peripheral tissue.SOLUTION: The fat removing device 100 includes: an approximately tubular casing 10 having an opening 10a to be pressed on the fatty tissue A an ultrasonic element 20 for applying focused ultrasonic waves to the surface of the fatty tissue exposed into the casing 10 as the opening 10a is pressed and a feed tube 30 for feeding a propagating member W with fluidity to propagate ultrasonic waves into the casing 10. The casing 10 has a storage space 12 between the surface of the fatty tissue A exposed inside from the opening 10a and the ultrasonic element 20 to be filled with the propagation member W fed from the feed tube 30.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】周辺組織への伝熱を抑制して脂肪組織を除去する。【解決手段】脂肪組織Aに押し付けられる開口部10aを有する略筒状の筐体10と、筐体10に収容され、開口部10aが押し付けられることにより筐体10の内部に露出される脂肪組織Aの表面に、集束させた超音波を照射する超音波素子20と、流動性を有し超音波を伝播する伝播部材Wを筐体10内に供給する供給管30とを備え、筐体10が、開口部10aから内部に露出される脂肪組織Aの表面と超音波素子20との間に、供給管30により供給される伝播部材Wを充満させる貯留空間12を有する脂肪除去装置100を提供する。【選択図】図1
