Abstract
A device configured to mechanically remove a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue includes a first pressing element and a second pressing element. Furthermore, there is provided a method for preparing a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, the method including mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue. In addition, there is provided a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, wherein the fat-depleted adipose tissue is prepared by mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue.
Claims13
A device configured to mechanically remove a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue and prepare adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, the device comprising:
- a first pressing element and a second pressing element, for pressing the at least one adipose tissue therebetween and forcing out at least part of the fat phase from the at least one adipose tissue when the pressing elements are moved toward one another;
- and
- a distance controlling element configured to maintain a gap between the first pressing element and the second pressing element during pressing of the at least one adipose tissue to avoid over-pressing or crushing of the at least one adipose tissue to prevent damage to the adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells,
- wherein the size of the gap is controlled to be correlated to the size of the at least one adipose tissue pressed therebetween, and wherein the gap has a size of less than 500 μm.
