ADIPOSE DERIVED REGENERATIVE CELL TRANSFER (LIPOGEMS) Are you looking for treatment for your osteoarthritis, have a focal area of cartilage loss that you’d like to treat? As the only FDA approved adipose (fat) processing system, Lipogems, uses a small amount of the patient’s own tissue and isolates the regenerative cells. These cells are essential for the regulation of blood flow and assist in the stability within biological systems. They mature into cells that regenerate and repair cartilage, tendon, bone and ligaments. Those collected cells are processed using a sterile solution to wash away any impurities and injected into areas of concern to help facilitate the healing process of damaged or injured tissue. HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: This procedure can be performed in the office or at the time of surgery. Liposuction with a specialized syringe, under local anesthesia, is performed from the abdomen or flank to harvest the patient’s own fatty tissue. The tissue is processed, washed, and concentrated to package the cells and tissue into a usable smaller cluster called MicroFat. The MicroFat is reinjected into damaged or injured tissue in the joint or the surgical repair site. In addition to delivering these reparative cells, the tissue is also strongly anti-inflammatory and can improve postoperative range of motion and decrease pain.
