Centrifugation and Fat Preparation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

And centrifugation is at 1286 G for two minutes, and this concentrates the fat so that the aqueous components, i.e. the local anesthetic in the blood, can be removed very easily, as will be seen in a minute. And while this is being prepared, further suction is being carried out to harvest more fat. This is a very time-efficient way of harvesting and preparing the fat. Meanwhile on the back table, everything is prepared. Then by removing the Luerlock plunge, the Luerlock plug, the aqueous part of the solution will just drain out, and then a Telfer sponge placed into the syringe will remove any of the oily deposit and broken down fat cells. And this way the fat for injection is as pure as it can possibly be.
