BioSculpture Technology introduces the Cinch It® Program to help America's obesity problem. An increased waist to hips circumference ratio is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and hypertension.

The company's patented Airbrush Liposculpture® twin cannula system is particularly suited to safely removing large volumes of fat, either in an outpatient setting in multiple sessions, or as in inpatient in very large single sessions. The kinder, gentler design spares both patients and surgeons the battering ram effect of thousands of cannula passes, permitting more rapid and controlled fat removal, less bruising, and shorter convalescences.

The U. S. obesity prevalence increased from 13 percent to 32 percent between the 1960s and 2004. Sixty-six percent of U. S. adults were overweight or obese in 2003-2004. Abdominal obesity as measured by waist circumference and the waist to hip ratio is an independent predictor of mortality.

Marginally increased waist circumference is strongly associated with prevalent hypertension in normal-weight and overweight adults. Abdominal obesity as measured in females as a waist circumference greater than 35" and in men greater than 40" is a risk factor associated with the metabolic syndrome which is associated with insulin resistance and coronary artery disease.

Patients and surgeons alike benefit from the kinder, gentler tube-within-a-tube design of the Airbrush Liposculptor® which spares both the battering ram effect of thousands of cannula passes. The Airbrush® permits more rapid and controlled fat removal, less bruising, and shorter convalescences. Since the cannula does not get hot, there is no risk of burns. In contrast to some alternative modalities, fat cells are removed in addition to fat so the tendency of recurrence is lessened and the opportunity for metabolic and physiologic impact is increased.

The goal of the program is to achieve a safe and reliable improvement in the waist to hip ratios of affected patients with Airbrush® twin cannula assisted liposuction and to document any corresponding reduction of blood pressure, metabolic improvement, skin contraction, or postoperative exercise or dietary lifestyle change.
