Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention is directed to a system for obtaining a substantially purified or enriched fraction of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a clinical environment and also to compositions, methods, and systems for using stem cells derived from adipose tissue that are placed directly into a recipient along with such additives as may be necessary to promote, engender, or support a therapeutic, structural, or cosmetic benefit. Embodiments of the invention provide a multi-component system for extracting and processing adipose tissue to generate a therapeutically effective amount of adipose-derived stem cells for re-introduction into a patient. Advantageously, the system does not require full operating room environment or full-scale lipoaspiration and can therefore be operated outside of a hospital or laboratory environment. The system is therefore suitable for small and mid-size medical clinics, outpatient surgical centers, and doctor's offices of multidisciplinary specialization.
[0010]In an embodiment, a system, called the Mini-Stem® system, allows for small physician practices as well as surgical centers to employ affordable methods for safe extraction of MSC or Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue of any patient for treatment or cryostorage (banking). SVF is a heterogeneous cell fraction that can be produced by the system. This fraction is enriched by cells bea

Problems solved by technology

However, processing of adipose tissues to separate pluripotent cells and expansion and (optionally) differentiation of the resulting stem cell population, according to systems and methods known in the art, generally requires expensive, specialized equipment and equally expensive, specialized processes.
The costs associated with purpose-built devices for repeated stem cell extraction from adipose tissues obtained by, for example, liposuction from a living human donor have restricte

Abstract

A device that allows for either fat graft preparation or cell fraction harvest is disclosed. The device includes a first centrifuge tube configured to receive and process a biological substance, the first centrifuge tube comprising an upper cylindrical portion and a lower conical portion, a sterile tissue inlet fitting, at least one sterile processing fluid inlet fitting, a sterile suction fitting, and at least one sterile extraction port connected to a first extraction tube. The first centrifuge tube further includes an internal space including a screen being positioned therein, the screen being configured to divide the internal space in half, and a filter positioned therein, the filter being positioned below the screen in the lower conical portion of the first centrifuge tube. The device may further include a second centrifuge tube configured to receive and further process the biological substance from the first centrifuge tube. The second centrifuge tube has at least one sterile fitting, wherein the second centrifuge tube is releasably connected via the at least one sterile fitting to one of the at least one sterile extraction ports of the first centrifuge tube.
