Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0044292A1] A method and apparatus for removing tissue with a high-pressure fluid jet. In one embodiment, a high-pressure primary fluid is mixed with a secondary fluid to produce a fluid jet having a reduced level of coherence. The secondary fluid can be introduced either by entrainment from the ambient or reservoir or from a pressure source or by means of a vacuum pump. The mass flow and/or pressure of either or both of the primary and secondary fluids can be controlled to remove a selected portion of tissue. The tissue can be selected to include human or animal tissue, such as skin or bone tissue, vegetable tissue, or other types of tissue.
