A new cost-effective and fast method of autologous fat grafting.

Summary Due to the increasing number of fat grafting procedures, several laboratories have developed their own fat processing system (Puregraft ® , LipiVage ® , Viafill ® , etc.), such as closed harvesting systems, centrifugation or washing and filtration devices, or even simple decantation techniques. However, all these tissue-engineering systems are expensive. Our team has developed a simple and fast autologous fat grafting system, useable even for a large volume of lipofilling, and based on low-pressure suction and a sterile closed-system for processing the harvested fat tissue. It is a cost-effective system, as it only costs 9.28 Eur (10.52 USD) for a 500 milliliters autologous fat graft procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
