Hand-held tattooing device for bringing e.g. medical active ingredient into e.g. human skin, has drives that are coupled to cutting blade for shifting blade in multiple cutting positions along cutting path into basic positions

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a hand-held tattooing device equipped with a cutting blade that can move in both horizontal and vertical directions to create precise incisions of varying depths in the skin. The device also delivers a liquid, such as a medical active ingredient, directly into the created channels within the skin, enhancing delivery efficiency. The blade's movement is carefully controlled by two separate drives, and the blade itself is rotatable for increased maneuverability.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Transdermal delivery of medical drugs for localized or systemic therapy
• Delivery of cosmetic agents or pigments for permanent makeup or traditional tattooing
• Veterinary applications for treating animals with topical medications
• Minimally invasive skin treatments, such as hormone or vaccine delivery
• Potential use in dermatological therapies, including scar or pigmentation treatments

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Enables precise control over incision depth for customizable treatments
• Improves absorption and effectiveness of active ingredients by direct delivery into skin channels
• Reduces discomfort and potential complications associated with less controlled methods
• Enhances safety and repeatability due to automated and controlled blade movement
• Potentially shortens procedure time and increases efficiency for medical professionals

Patent Abstract

The device (1) has a cutting blade (3) that is shiftable between multiple basic positions that are assigned to respective cutting depth. A liquid supplying device supplies liquid to be brought for entry in a cutting channel produced by the cutting blade. Two drives (4, 5) are coupled to the cutting blade for shifting the cutting blade in multiple cutting positions along a cutting path into the basic positions in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The cutting blade is formed at a rotatable blade component. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a hand-held tattooing device for bringing a liquid into a human or animal skin.
