A device configured to mechanically remove a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue includes a first pressing element and a second pressing element. Furthermore, a method for preparing a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, comprises mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue. In addition, there is provided a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, wherein the fat-depleted adipose tissue is prepared by mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue.

Provided are a treatment method, a separation method, and a filter assembly capable of preventing so-called “Blue Toe syndrome” which is so-called cholesterol crystal embolism of which a fat-soluble compound such as cholesterol crystals generated during dilation of a stenosed site causes clogging in glomeruli of peripheral capillaries or kidney, acute renal failure, and the like. Cholesterol crystals generated from plaque during use of a balloon catheter are taken out of the body and removed using a centrifugal separation device or a filter, and usable living cells are returned to the body to reduce blood transfusion and reduce cholesterol crystal embolism.

Systems and methods herein are directed towards the separation of biologic material to obtain a target cell volume and/or cell concentration for harvesting. The target volume and/or concentration of cells may be obtained through a single cycle via three chambers, or by repeated cycles through one or more chambers to dilute the digestive enzymes used in the process and concentrate the harvestable cell volume to a predetermined target.

A method for processing biological material containing stringy tissue in a container having a tissue collector disposed in a tissue retention volume on one side of an internal filter includes washing biological material contained in the tissue retention volume with wash liquid to the tissue retention volume and allowing the wash liquid and rotating the tissue collector disposed in the tissue retention volume relative to the container in a first direction of rotation about an axis of rotation to sweep the teeth positioned on the tissue collector through the biological material and to collect stringy material on the tissue collector.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method of cosmetic or biomedical application of a device, comprising a self-contained syringe device comprising an inner syringe included within an outer syringe and wherein a filter is attached inside the outer syringe barrel; wherein the filter comprises a filter material that prevents premature filter collapse where the filter material is optionally coated to increase stiffness, and wherein liposuctioned adipose tissue is collected and purified inside the syringes.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose micro-lipo needle device and methods of making and using the same.

A triple-chambered container includes: a main container body with a first chamber which has an opening at its distal end; a main barrel formed and movable longitudinally within the first chamber, the main barrel defining therein a second chamber for receiving fluids, the main barrel further having an apertured stopper at its distal end; a second barrel formed within the main barrel, the second barrel defining a third chamber for receiving fluids, the second barrel being movable longitudinally within and with respect to the main barrel, the second barrel having a distal end which is engageable and disengageable with the apertured stopper; a shaft adapted to fit within the second barrel, the shaft being movable longitudinally within and with respect to the second barrel, the shaft having a distal end which is engageable and disengageable with an aperture in the second barrel; a device for controlling engaging and disengaging of the distal end of the shaft with the aperture of the second barrel. The first chamber, the second chamber and the third chamber may be selectively moved to receive and discharge fluids with respect to one another.

A method of preparing adipose tissue for transplantation, from lobular fat extracted, for instance, by liposuction, the fat including a fluid component that also includes an oily component, a blood component and/or sterile solutions and of a solid component that includes cell fragments, cells and one or more cell macroagglomerates of heterogeneous size, characterized in that it includes at least one step of forming an emulsion of the fluid component in the sterile washing solution by active and/or passive stirring and discharging the emulsion from the outlet through a density gradient.

A device for removing fat from a body can include a pair of nested hollow members that each has at least one opening and an adjustment means for adjusting the orientation of the nested hollow members from a first configuration to a second configuration to change an amount of overlap between openings in the nested hollow members. The nested members can be deformable to change the shape of the openings.

A fat screening device includes a cylinder, and a sieve basket. The cylinder includes a feed inlet, an air outlet, a bottom water outlet, and an accommodating space. The accommodating space is in communication with the feed inlet, the air outlet, and the bottom water outlet. The feed inlet is configured to receive a mixture, the bottom water outlet is disposed at a bottom of the cylinder, the accommodating space is configured to accommodate water and fat resulting from stratification of the mixture, and the bottom water outlet is configured to discharge the water. The sieve basket covers the feed inlet and is arranged separately from the air outlet. The sieve basket is configured to screen the mixture to discharge the water and the fat into the accommodating space.
