Louisville, CO – The PowerX Lipo System, a new power-assisted liposuction device from Sound Surgical Technologies (SST), is gaining ground in the highly saturated body contouring space. The System, which was cleared for use by the FDA in April 2011, has gained substantial strength and market share in the past twelve months.

Unlike other reciprocating power-assisted liposuction technologies, the PowerX System utilizes a unique rotational movement to quickly and effectively treat fatty areas, while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. “Other power-assisted liposuction devices focus solely on rapid fat removal with reduced surgeon fatigue. The PowerX System addresses this concern and goes much farther. PowerX offers unmatched ease and versatility. Its large spectrum of precise axial rotational movements, its wide range of RPM settings and the large variety of available PowerX cannulas now enable liposuction precision and artistry unmatched by any of the other PAL machines on the US market,” says Dr. Peter A. Aldea, a board certified Plastic Surgeon from Memphis, TN.
