PREPARATION OF COMPOSITIONS TO TREAT AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS USING ADIPOSE-DERIVED STROMAL VASCULAR FRACTION CELLS

摘要

A method for preparing a treatment composition for treatment of osteoarthritis including un-cultured stromal vascular fraction cells from adipose tissue includes direct aspiration of material of a centrifugally-formed pellet phase including stromal vascular fraction cells from enzymatically-digested adipose tissue from an internal containment volume of a portable apparatus through an aspiration tube inserted into the pellet phase and into a fluid receptacle located outside of the internal containment volume. The treatment composition may be administered into or in the vicinity of a patient's joint to be treated for osteoarthritis.

1. A method for preparing a treatment composition for treatment of osteoarthritis including un-cultured stromal vascular fraction cells from adipose tissue, the method comprising:
direct aspiration of material of a centrifugally-formed pellet phase from an internal containment volume of a container of a portable apparatus, the material of the pellet phase including stromal vascular fraction cells from enzymatically-digested adipose tissue, the direct aspiration comprising aspiration of at least a majority of the material of the pellet phase through an aspiration tube inserted into the pellet phase and into a fluid receptacle in fluid communication with the aspiration tube and located outside of the container.
