LIPOCOLLECTOR™ IIIn recent years, micro-fat grafting has been gaining in popularity around the world as patients seek aesthetic options that use their own natural fat cells for rejuvenation and correction.  But, until recently, harvesting fat for autologous transfer was a time-consuming and difficult process.  Furthermore, because of the uneven rate of fat survival after transfer, the results were often unpredictable.  The LipoCollector™ II is specifically designed for the fast and effortless harvest of medium to large amounts of fat.  With a gentle separation process that can help protect fat cells from harm*, the LipoCollector™ II is an advanced, easy and effective way to harvest fat. 

Gentle fat harvesting is the key to success

Studies* show that gentle fat harvesting can help improve the chances for long-term fat survival. In a recent study, it was demonstrated that 72% of the transplanted fat tissue persisted in the area of injection six months after surgery.°  When used together with the gentle water-jet assisted lipoplasty (WAL) process, the LipoCollector™ II can harvest high-quality† micro-droplets of fat, with limited exposure to tumescent fluid and unnecessary fat handling.  With the LipoCollector™ II, aspirated fatty tissue and rinsing fluid are separated immediately by physical buoyancy and gravity, usually eliminating the need for centrifuging or additional processing before fat transfer. 

LipoCollector™ II Advantages


Gentle

  • Gentle on fat to help improve the chances of long-term fat survival

Effortless

  • Simplified collection process
  • Continuously separates fat from rinsing fluid ― no additional washing needed
  • Easy fat extraction from the container
  • Constant water flow  helps prevent clogging

Efficient

  • Harvests high-quality fat, which is ready for immediate transfer
  • Pre-filter traps fibrous strains for more homogeneous fat
  • Sterile, closed loop system
  • Robust and durable components
  • Autoclavable
  • Harvests up to 1 liter of fat
