The invention is a process and system, consisting of a reinjection pump, connecting tubing, a reinjection cannula and a recipient site, with fluid management features including a peristaltic pump head and controls for pressure limits, flow rates and flow distribution wherein the process of controlling the reinjected fat and fluid is unique because of the control of flow rates, pressures, matching cannula hole sizes, and maintaining a closed continuous system where the harvesting and reinjection is done all together with a completely closed system. The process utilizes a method and control system to manage pressure levels during reinjection procedures of viable soft tissue. Although this case specifically relates to its use in the reinjection of adipose fat and other tissue back into the body during liposuction procedures, it can be applied to any medical procedure of introducing or re-introducing materials into the body.

A surgical procedure kit for inserting a medical tube according to the present invention includes: an insertion pathway formation means configured to include a medical tube provided with a hollow tube main body, a tube member including a hollow conduit having the medical tube received therein and forming a pathway into which the medical tube is to be inserted, and a support member including a support rod which is inserted into the medical tube and has stiffness greater than that of the tube member; and a push means configured to be slidable within the conduit of the tube member and push the medical tube through the conduit of the tube member.

A device for carrying out Gluteopexia, which is the elevation of the buttocks. The device has longitudinal shape and is composed by a first anchoring element and a second anchoring element, both linked by a longitudinal element, combining for a single body. The first anchoring element is sheltered in a longitudinal crevice of the first cover of the device. The second anchoring element is lodged in a longitudinal channeled piercing of the second cover of the device.

A system for determining components of matter removed from a body includes a container for receiving the matter, a device for weighing the container and the matter therein, an instrument for obtaining information relating to determine the components of the matter based in part on a weight of the matter determined by said device and the information relating to the at least one aspect of the matter obtained by said instrument. A display includes a screen for displaying information relating to the matter provided by said processer. The information may include a height and/or a color of the matter among other aspects. An insert containing an absorbent material may be utilized to separate fat cells from a fluid when liposuction is used to remove the matter. The insert may be porous allowing fluid to enter the absorption.
