Patent ID: 8348866

Claim:
A device for treating connective tissue of skin of a subject, associated with a vacuum source, comprising two parallel rollers to work the skin of the subject, mounted in a casing to rotate about their respective axis, wherein at least one of the rollers is hollow and delimits aspiration passages transverse to the axis of the roller, these aspiration passages each having an outer end opening out on a periphery of the roller, and an inner end adapted, at least when, during the rotation of the roller, the outer end of the passage is directed towards the skin being worked by the roller, to be connected to the vacuum source by a control means with which the roller is internally fitted and which is borne by the casing, and these aspiration passages being distributed on the periphery of the roller so that, for each position of the roller about its axis, at least one of the aspiration passages has its outer end directed towards the skin being worked by the rollers and has its inner end placed in fluidic communication by the control means with an inner end of at least one other of the aspiration passages, an outer end of the at least one other aspiration passage opens out into a free volume defined inside the casing.
