Abstract
The present disclosure provides devices and methods for processing and harvesting adipose tissue. The present disclosure provides improved devices, systems, and methods for harvesting, processing, and filtering adipose tissue for autologous fat transfer procedures. The features of the devices and systems of the present disclosure increase efficiency and sterility of adipose tissue processing by reducing the need for users to interrupt the procedure to adjust some part of the system, such as unclogging filter pores or adjusting tubing.
Claims17
A tissue processing system, comprising:
- a container, including:
- an exterior wall surrounding an interior volume for holding tissue;
- a filter structure for processing tissue, the filter structure including a mesh wall;
- at least one mixing blade to facilitate tissue washing or treatment, the at least one mixing blade contacting an inner surface of the mesh wall during rotation within the container, thereby cleaning the mesh wall;
- a flow management device;
- a flexible tube extending from a port located at a bottom portion of the container in fluid communication with an interior portion of the filter structure;
- and
- a stop mechanism to prevent filling of the container above a maximum fill level, wherein the flexible tube has a length sufficient for a distal end of the tube to be positioned above the stop mechanism, thereby preventing leakage of fluid from the container through the flexible tube.
