Description
LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKS PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY TO COMMERCIALIZE LLNL'S LIPOSUCTION DEVICE Announcement: The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy is seeking industrial partners to commercialize a liposuction device. The reciprocating liposuction cannula device utilizes a single cutting shaft, may utilize a combination of reciprocating energy and ultrasonic energy, and may utilize available excess vacuum capacity to produce the reciprocation of the cannula shaft. One embodiment of the device uses a single shaft for cutting, preferably in a non-rectilinear oscillation motion. An additional lumen may be utilized for cooling of the cannula tip, equilibrating the pressure, or providing additional pressure to allow fat to move back up the cannula shaft with greater ease. The combination of reciprocating energy and ultrasonic energy reduces the total energy required of each type. Also, in this non-rectilinear reciprocating form of the liposuction cannula device, no protective measures (e.g., monitoring tip), need be taken in order to prevent the device from penetrating through important tissues. This invention is co-owned with two other entities, not related to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. If you are interesed in working with LLNL to commercialize or further develop the Liposuction device described above, please respond in writing within 30 days of this announcement. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Liposuction Device should provide a written statement of interest including a commercialization plan and a description of corporate capabilities relevant to commercializing the technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO02-005-292. Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is posted to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Liposuction Device.
