The LipoCollector TM collects the cell-liquid mixture suctioned off during liposuction using<br />
waterjet-assisted liposuction (WAL) and separates the fat from the remaining liquid, enabling<br />
the fat to be <strong>use</strong>d <strong>for</strong> lipostructure or non-invasive purposes.<br />
The LipoCollector TM serves to filter lipocytes and connective tissue from the aspirate which is<br />
extracted during waterjet-assisted liposuction. A special filter unit, comprising a stainless steel<br />
wire fabric with a mesh/hole size from 0.2 µm to 0.63 µm, captures the appropriate particles in a<br />
sterile collecting container so that only the WAL rinsing solution ends up in the waste<br />
containers provided.<br />
The multi-layered filter unit can be assembled by the surgeon as required using a combination of separate<br />
filters. This allows the consistency and particle size of the filtrate to be controlled.<br />
This type of lipocyte extraction represents a refinement and makes the procedure easier when<br />
extracting larger quantities.<br />
