Autologous adipose tissue implant with concentrated stem cells
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An autologous adipose tissue implant comprising:
- a first portion of intact (non-disaggregated) adipose tissue removed from a patient mixed with a concentrated population of adipose-derived cells that comprises stem cells,wherein the population of adipose-derived cells comprising stem cells is concentrated from a second portion of adipose tissue removed from the same patient, andwherein the stem cell concentration in the concentrated population of adipose-derived cells that comprises stem cells is more than 1.7×
105 cells/ml.

Abstract
Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Compositions that are administered to a patient include a mixture of adipose tissue and stem cells so that the composition has a higher concentration of stem cells than when the adipose tissue was removed from the patient.
