Abstract
A biological material processing apparatus may include a container configured to hold biological material and an entry port that permits the biological material to be introduced into the container. A rotatable core may be positioned within the container and may be rotatable relative to the container. An actuator may cause rotation of the core. An arm may be coupled to the core. The arm may be movable from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration during rotation of the core. The arm may be configured to engage and retain fibrous tissue or similar debris while the biological material is being processed within the container.
Claims69
A biological material processing device comprising:
- a container configured to receive biological material;
- an inlet port configured to receive the biological material into the container;
- a core disposed within the container and rotatable relative to the container;
- an actuator configured to rotate the core;
- and
- an arm coupled to the core, the arm movable from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration during rotation of the core, the arm configured to capture fibrous material within the biological material during rotation of the core.
A tissue processing system comprising:
- a container configured to receive biological material;
- a core disposed within the container;
- a first conduit configured to deliver biological material from a patient to the container;
- a second conduit configured to return biological material from the container to the patient;
- and
- a spinning mechanism configured to rotate at least one component of the tissue processing system,
- wherein biological material circulates in a continuous closed loop between the patient and the container during rotation of the at least one component of the tissue processing system.
A biological material processing device comprising:
- a container configured to receive biological material;
- a core disposed within the container;
- a fluid port configured to communicate biological material between the container and an external conduit;
- and
- a base configured to secure the external conduit,
- wherein the core rotates relative to the fluid port while biological material flows through the fluid port.
A method of processing biological material comprising:
- aspirating biological material from a patient into a container of a biological material processing device;
- rotating a component of the biological material processing device to separate components of the biological material;
- capturing impurities with deployable arms within the container;
- and
- removing processed tissue from the container.
