Device and kit for preparing tissue, particularly adipose tissue, for transplantation from lobular fat extracted by liposuction

A device for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation from lobular fat material extracted by liposuction, said fat material comprising (a) a fluid component comprising one or more of an oily component, a blood component and sterile solutions, and (b) a solid component comprising cell fragments, cells and one or more cell macroagglomerates of heterogeneous size, said device comprising:

• at least one washing and separating container having a washing chamber for washing the liposuctioned material, said container having at least one opening defining an inlet and an outlet for the liposuctioned material to enter the washing chamber through the inlet and for at least part of said liposuctioned material to exit said chamber through the outlet, said washing chamber including an emulsion-forming means for forming an emulsion of fluid components by mechanical stirring;
• and
• a size reducing means provided in the washing and separating container or in a size reducing container adapted to be fluid-tightly connected to said washing and separating container and configured for reducing the size of the solid component to, on average, equal smaller cell agglomerates, having a size equal to or smaller than a given value.
