Abstract
In short, our device allows a surgeon who is harvesting adipose tissue for autologous fat transplantation to immediately, easily, efficiently, and sterilely isolate adipose tissue from the unwanted waste components that are associated with primary liposuction effluent. It does so by "trapping" the fat tissue contained within raw liposuction effluent. Once the tissue fraction has been separated, the device design then allows for direct implantation or subsequent washing/rinsing of the tissue with saline/buffer of choice in preparation for tissue reimplantation.
