Abstract
Described are devices, systems, and methods for processing adipose tissue for reintroduction into a body. In some embodiments, adipose tissue is mixed with an additive prior to reintroduction.
Claims22
A system for processing adipose tissue for reintroduction into the body, the system comprising:
- a container including a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment,
- wherein the first compartment is configured to receive harvested adipose tissue, wherein the second compartment is connected to the first compartment and includes an additive, and wherein the third compartment is connected to the second compartment and is configured to dispense adipose tissue and additive to a patient.
An injection device for fat grafting procedures comprising:
- a first plunger configured to advance through a first chamber including adipose tissue;
- a second plunger configured to advance through a second chamber including an additive to a patient when mixed with the adipose tissue;
- a mixing chamber configured to receive and mix the adipose tissue and the additive upon advancement of the first plunger and the second plunger;
- and
- a luer connector distal to the mixing chamber.
2 more elements
A system for adipose tissue grafting procedures comprising:
- a first section including a barrel and a plunger having a plunger head, the plunger being slidable in the barrel;
- and
- multiple second sections, each being connectable and separable from the first section, and each second section performing a different fat grafting function.
A system for adipose tissue grafting procedures comprising:
- a pliable container having a proximal end and a distal end and an internal volume configured to contain harvested adipose tissue;
- a mechanism, configured to manipulate the pliable container to force the harvested adipose tissue toward the distal end;
- and
- a dispensing element, disposed at the distal end, configured to enable dispensing of the harvested adipose tissue.
