?:definition
  • Equipment designed for automated adipose tissue (i.e., fat) transfer from a donor site to other area of the body of the same person (i.e., autologous) in one procedure. This equipment typically consists of a central unit that includes a vacuum pump, a centrifuge, and a filtering system to separate adipose tissue from other fluids such as blood; the unit also includes a detachable probe with a cannula or a small diameter needle at the distal end intended for fat harvesting and re-injection, respectively. Autologous fat transfer units are used mainly in body reconstruction and/or cosmetic procedures (e.g., breast augmentation or reconstruction, cosmetic procedures in the face).
