AquaVage - Designed for Fat Transfer

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 11:52 AM

AquaVage is a newly approved system designed to maintain the integrity of fat cells for use in fat transfer or stem cell research.

LipiSystems Inc. has gained FDA approval for AquaVage, a system for fat transfer that was designed just for that purpose. Company president Mel Kimsey says that it's "the first high volume fat grafting device that meets the needs of the surgeon performing high volume autologous fat transfer."

AquaVage offers the advantage of a closed, sterile, disposable, no fuss system that doesn't clog, even in very fibrous tissue. It maintains a high level of fat cell viability that for successful fat graft retention and stem cell retrieval. These improvements should make fat transfer procedures quicker and easier for the surgeon.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, more than 46,000 fat transfer procedures were performed in 2008. In fat transfer procedures, the fat cells are transferred from one area of the body to another. The fat can be used as an alternative to cosmetic dermal fillers , or to enhance and contour the face, lips, buttocks and breasts. As the procedure uses your body's own tissues, there's no risk of rejection. The result of fat transfer surgery is a soft and natural look.

There is the additional benefit of easy harvest of stem cells derived from adipose tissue or fat. The stem cells have far reaching applications beyond cosmetic and can be used for regenerating heart tissue in heart attack patients, rebuilding vascular tissue, treating canine arthritis and the list goes on. Numerous universities and research groups are studying stem cells to make them a viable treatment alternative.

The AquaVage is scheduled for market release at the upcoming American Society of Plastic Surgery annual meeting in Seattle, Washington in October. For further information please visit www.aquavage.com.
