• In the treatment of osteo-cartilaginous lesions and moderate arthrosis. • In the management of severe arthrosis in patients who are not candidates for surgery as an analgesic therapy. • In the treatment of tendon or ligament injuries also in association with tissue repair surgery. • In aesthetic medicine and surgery to volumise and correct facial defects, reducing the need for synthetic fillers. • Use in reconstructive surgery where it is necessary to fill in tissue volume losses. • In the treatment of fistulas, ulcers, wounds and scars Autologous adipose tissue is rich in mesenchymal cells...

Lipocell® is a technology that enhances the biological properties of adipose tissue. In fact, fat is one of the richest adult tissues in mesenchymal cells with high regenerative potential. These cells enclosed in the vascular-stromal niche are pluripotent and can differentiate into specialised cells depending on the graft site. They also respond to the stimuli of the suffering tissue by releasing anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, promoting tissue healing. Technology The Lipocell® device is equipped with a semi-permeable membrane capable of separating fat tissue from oily and haematic...

A small liposuction Adipose tissue is harvested with a small liposuction from the subcutaneous fat, preferably in the abdominal region. The patient is positioned supine and two symmetrical accesses are made between the lumbar and iliac abdominal area (1), alternatively only one periumbilical access (2). Depending on the patient’s characteristics, alternative sampling areas such as trochanteric fat to be performed bilaterally (3) or lumbar (4) can be chosen. Approximately 60 to 90 ml of lipoaspirate is then taken, resulting in 8 to 18 ml of final product ready to be infiltrated. The procedure...

Withdrawal Once 10 minutes have elapsed, the suction cannula (13G) can be connected to the self-locking syringe. The locking mechanism, to be activated once the cannula has penetrated the subcutaneous panniculus adiposus, creates negative pressure inside the syringe, facilitating the collection of the liposuction. Avoid transverse movements with the cannula. Once the fat has been obtained, it is necessary to dress the collection area. At the end of the operation it is recommended to apply a compressive dressing on the patient to limit the formation of ecchymosis and haematoma. An elastic belly...
