Systems and methods for treating patients with processed lipoaspirate cells

摘要

Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. The system comprises a first filter adapted to retain adipose-derived stem cells and a cell concentrator comprising a centrifuge or a spinning membrane.
