FAT GRAFTING
Is a complex and very precise methodological surgical process by which fat is transferred from one site to another for long lasting fat graft outcomes. It's not a liposuctior.
REQUIRES DEDICATED PROTOCOLS that align perfectly the clinical goals with the techniques and the tools to be used. This is the only way to perform an extremely safe & efficient fat grafting that can be according to the best expectations of physicians and patients.
CLINICAL GOAL
-
MEDICAL HISTORY, DONOR & RECIPIENT SITE EVALUATION, INTENDED OUTCOME
-
SELECTION OF FAT GRAFTING TYPE:
TECHNIQUES & TOOLS
· Infiltration
· Depth
· Negative pressure
· Fat SIZING cannulas
· Concentration (centrifugation)
· Fragmentation
· Emulsification
· Deph & dispersion
· Fibrosis management
· Positive pressure
· Fat EQUALIZING cannulas
SIZING
Def. Estimate or measure something’s dimension.
A calibrated size of fat lobules is a critical factor for fat grafting.
Fat calibration occurs due to a controlled fragmentation of adipose tissue produced by the HARVESTING CANNULA, that mostly depends on:
-
Ports size, number and distribution.
-
Ports shape (360° cutting edge).
-
Port surface - Sum of all port suction surface (mm2).
-
Constant negative pressure (300 mmHg).
-
Regular soft tissue collagenous microstructure.
Each fat grafting type requires a specifically calibrated fat size.
Our harvesting cannulas perform an accurate fat sizing due to our patented design and technology.
EQUALIZING
Once the harvested fat lobules being minimally processed (purified or concentrated), their sizes must match the diameter and port size of the INJECTION CANNULA. For each harvested fat sizing, there are specific equalizing injection cannulas that enable an optimal fat flow injection for an accurate fat injection technique.
Clinical goals, techniques and tools cannot be dissociated to achieve an extremely safe & efficient fat grafting.
