Avéli is indicated for temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult females as supported by clinical data demonstrating benefits through three months of observation.

Avéli is a sterile, single-use manual instrument that cuts fibrous tissue (septa) beneath moderate to severe cellulite for temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult females. The device consists of a handle and a distal end. The handle houses components used to actuate the moving parts at the distal end of the device. The distal end of the device is advanced into subcutaneous tissue through a small incision to a procedure location. An integrated light source provides illumination and allows the user to track and advance to the procedure location. The distal end of the device contains a blunt link and a sharpened link forming a distal hook. When the handle is moved in a retrograde fashion, the distal hook next to a fibrous septum captures the septum resulting in tugging. The user feels the resistance, confirming that a septum under a cellulite depression has been identified. The user then engages a sharpened link to be exposed at the distal end of the device. The user applies additional retrograde motion to sever the fibrous septum, and then retracts the sharpened link and the blunt link into the device, allowing removal without further tissue capture. The step is repeated for each visible cellulite depression.
