ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for extracting injectable collagen from human adipose tissue, such as removed by liposuction procedures. The apparatus includes a clear container with inlet and outlet fittings to be attached to the suction line of a liposuction machine to collect globules of adipose tissue. The container has a needle-like rod disposed in its center and an electric motor and belt drive to rotate the rod at a speed sufficient to cause interstitial reticular fiber from adipose tissue to adhere to and wrap around the rod. Water may then be flowed in through the inlet fitting and drawn out through the outlet fitting to flush the adipose tissue out of container, leaving the reticular fibers on the rod. The rod is then retracted (lowered) through a sleeve which has a rotating chopping blade, scrapping the fiber into a cup area of chopping blades. A pharmaceutical carrier such as saline solution is injected into the container. The rotating chopping blades are driven by the motor and belt to emulsify the reticular fibers into the saline solution. The emulsion is then extracted for use as injectable collagen.
