Cavitation
In suction cavitation, the low-pressure/high-vacuum conditions at the pump's suction cause the liquid to turn into vapor, creating cavitation bubbles that implode due to pressure variations. This phenomenon disrupts the liquid's continuity and can be used non-invasively to generate incisions or target cancer cells. A similar process is used in ultrasonic vibration treatments for fat reduction.
Cavitation refers to the formation and subsequent collapse or implosion of vapor bubbles in a liquid when the liquid is subjected to rapid changes in pressure. This can occur in various contexts, such as in hydraulic machinery like pumps and propellers, medical treatments, and industrial processes. In the case of pumps, cavitation can lead to damage and decreased performance. However, in medical treatments, controlled cavitation can be used beneficially, for example in ultrasound therapy for fat reduction or in non-invasive procedures to target specific cells.
