Fascinating new technology with tissue restoration, especially related to breast cancer patients and the potential alternatives with using fat tissue from your body instead of other implanted material for reconstruction. BD
Cytori's European Celution™ System standardizes and automates a process that releases regenerative cells residing naturally within adipose (fat) tissue. The adipose tissue is taken from the patient using a minor liposuction-like procedure, placed into the system and, with the touch of a button, the processing begins. Cytori was informed of the completion of enrollment in 2006 of an 11 patient investigator-initiated study in Japan using adipose-derived regenerative cells to treat complications of tumor removal and radiation damage in breast cancer patients. The administered cells were extracted and concentrated from the patients' own adipose tissue using Cytori's Celution™ System.
About an hour later, following a tissue wash, cell separation and concentration by the Celution™ System, a prescribed dose of regenerative cells may be delivered back to the patient. This system is designed to fit seamlessly into the existing hospital workflow.
The Celution™ System makes cells available in about one hour.
Cytori also has begun development of its U.S. Celution™ System, designed to process a patient's own blood cells. The company wants to begin investigating potential applications for these cells in the future to enhance its product pipeline.
