PureGraft Technology May Increase Fat Transfer Success

2010-11-10 11:45:00

FDA-approved PureGraft creates purified fat that may increase the survival rate of fat transfers.

Dr. Todd K. Malan, M.D. is excited to use PureGraft 250, Cytori Therapeutics’ FDA-approved fat graft processing technology that standardizes the graft preparation process for aesthetic body contouring. PureGraft allows Dr. Malan to harvest, filter and transfer autologous fat tissue for re-injection back into the patient. Dr. Malan currently performs the procedure BeautiFill, which is fat transfer to the breast, buttock and/or hands at the Innovative Cosmetic Surgery Center (www.innovativecosmeticsurgery.com) in Scottsdale, AZ. This technology is positioned at the forefront of the emerging fat grafting trend in the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery market.

The PureGraft System sets a new standard for fat graft processing with its membrane-based tissue filtration combined with speed, simplicity, safety and precision. The PureGraft technology takes only 15 minutes to purify a fat graft between 50 to 250 mL, removing excess and unwanted fluid, lipid, blood cells and debris in a controllable manner. The consumable-based system, used within the sterile field, "dialyzes" everything but the purified fat tissue without centrifugation or other methods. PureGraft allows the transfer of the purest fat back to a patient, which gives maximized results in the BeautiFill procedures,” says Dr. Malan. Using pure fat gives a better chance for increased fat survival rate and a longer life expectancy of transferred fat, reducing some of the questions and controversy regarding predictability and retention of the fat transfers from the 1980s.
