Celution™ System - How it Works
First, adipose is taken by the doctor from the patient with a minor, minimally-invasive liposuction procedure. Next, the physician or nurse transfers the adipose tissue to the Celution™ System, which processes each patient’s tissue with a single-use, application-specific consumable set that easily attaches to the Celution™ System.
The Celution™ System works by freeing up the stem and regenerative cells from the connective tissue; then the cells are separated, washed, and concentrated. This real-time processing takes place in a closed environment to minimize the risk of exposure to contaminants and can be completed within the timeframe of a single surgical procedure.
Next, a syringe is used to collect the cells that are to be redelivered to the same patient during the same surgical procedure. The cells may be injected directly into a site or implanted with a delivery matrix or scaffold to improve performance, such as combining the cells with an adipose tissue graft in reconstructive surgery procedures.
Following reinfusion into the body, it is thought that environmental cues from the damaged and surrounding tissue guide the regenerative cells to the area of damage and help facilitate a natural healing response. The cells may respond by a variety of mechanisms, which promote tissue survival, graft retention and/or differentiation of progenitor cells into the appropriate cell type.
