We believe there is immediate benefit to be gained by the use of Adipose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (ADSVF or just SVF) that is known to contain Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) a known form of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC).  While major universities and pharmaceutical companies clamor to unlock the magic within stem cells, they contend we remain 5 to 10 years away from clinical applications.  In the meantime, enough anecdotal and scientific evidence suggests that stem cells can be utilized now for effective therapy of a multitude of inflammatory and degenerative conditions.  Following the initial lead from the Plastic Surgery community, we have developed a multidisciplinary approach to utilizing current technology to produce and deploy SVF for the immediate treatments of a variety of inflammatory and degenerative conditions.  While we have also developed a completely closed surgical procedure, we have remained cognizant of the FDA regulations (21 CFR part 1271) for Human Cells, Tissues and Products.  The primary objective of initial trials are aimed to determine the relative degree of risk that exists when harvesting fat and deploying autologous SVF derived from it with our particular equipment and protocol.  The secondary objective remains to obtain data as to possible efficacy.
