Fat transplantation has had a second wind and its popularity in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures should increase exponentially in the years to come. Some technical issues remain, but a new injection tool can help simplify and improve the fat transplant process.LifeCell Corporation is preparing to market an advanced adipose tissue injector from the TauTona Group medical device incubator in Menlo Park, California.
The new injector is a battery-powered single-use tool designed to deliver fat at a controlled rate, which reduces the complexity of injections and allows the surgeon to focus on placement. By managing pressure and flow rates during the injection, the fat injector minimizes damage to the injected fat and the tissue is delivered to the injection site.
The injector is the second product in the LifeCell fat graft portfolio since the launch of the REVOLVE ™ fat treatment system
