Cytori’s Puregraft 850 for Prepping of Fat Grafts Cleared in U.S.

Cytori Therapeuticsout of San Diego, CA received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Puregraft 850 System for preparation of fat grafts from up to 850 mL of tissue.

The company received FDA clearance for its 250mL version, the Puregraft 250, two years ago, and the new approval expands the range of procedures where the technology can be applied.

The Puregraft® technology is the standard for fat graft processing with its membrane-based tissue filtration combined with speed, simplicity, safety and precision. The Puregraft® technology takes approximately 15 minutes to purify a fat graft ranging from 50 to 850 mL, removing excess and unwanted fluid, lipid, blood cells and debris in a controllable manner. The single use system, used within the sterile field, purifies fat tissue without centrifugation or other methods. The ease of use and simplicity of this innovative system sets it apart from other traditional fat grafting methods.
