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, a method for preparing a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, comprises 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.
Claims16
A method for mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue and preparing adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, the method comprising:
- pressing the at least one adipose tissue within a gap between a first pressing element and a second pressing element and forcing out at least part of the fat phase from the at least one adipose tissue when the gap is reduced in size;
- and
- maintaining the gap between the first pressing element and the second pressing element during pressing of the at least one adipose tissue by a distance controlling element so as to avoid over-pressing or crushing of the at least one adipose tissue and prevent damage to the adipose derived mesenchymal cells,
- wherein the size of the gap is controlled to be correlated to a size of the at least one adipose tissue pressed between the first pressing element and the second pressing element, and wherein the gap has a size of less than 500 μm.
