ULTRASONIC CAVITATION DERIVED STROMAL OR MESENCHYMAL VASCULAR EXTRACTS AND CELLS DERIVED THEREFROM OBTAINED FROM ADIPOSE TISSUE AND USE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A method of recovering a stromal or mesenchymal vascular fraction from blood vessels contained in or proximate to adipose tissue which method comprises treating an adipose tissue containing sample with ultrasonic cavitation under conditions whereby that the fat cells and blood vessels in the sample are exploded or lysed thereby dissociating or releasing substantial numbers of intact stromal vascular or mesenchymal vascular cells from the lysed blood vessels contained in the ultrasonicated adipose tissue while substantially maintaining the viability of the cells constituting the stromal or mesenchymal fraction.

Abstract
Methods of treating using adipose tissue using ultrasonic cavitation to dissociate the fat cells and blood vessels contained within adipose tissue and thereby obtain mesenchymal or stromal vascular fractions for use in human subjects are provided. These methods preferably do not include the use of any exogenous dissociating enzymes such as collagenase and result in increased numbers of the cells which constitute the mesenchymal or stromal vascular fractions (about 10-fold greater) than methods which use collagenase to isolate these cells.
