Collection and Preparation of Adipose Tissue for Regeneratice & Reconstruction Purposes
Took place at
Genolier Clinic, R.te des Muids, Genolier
Wednesday, February 28th, 2024
CONGRESS DATE
February 28th, 2024 – From 08:30 AM till 12:30 PM
Aim of the Course:
- To train participants in obtaining small amounts of adipose tissue for intra-operative immediate use and biobanking.
- To enable participants to prepare dissociated adipose tissue, ready for use for various reconstructive and regenerative treatments across multiple medical fields.
PROGRAMME
- Theorical introduction to Current Uses of Autologous Lipoaspirate (30 minutes)
- Led by Dr. Sophie Menkes and Dr. Gianni Soldati
- Comprehensive understanding of the applications of autologous lipoaspirate in regenerative medicine across various fields, with focus but not limited to orthopedics.
- Clinical applications, advancements, benefits, and ethical/regulatory considerations.
2. Adipose Tissue Collection in the Operating Room (1 hour)
-
- Led by Dr. Sophie Menkes, specializing in regenerative medicine.
- Hands-on practice: Manual collection of 100 ml of adipose tissue by syringe aspiration.
- Each participant will participate in the OR at tissue collection on a model under Dr. Menkes supervision.
3. Adipose Tissue Preparation for Direct Injection (1 hour)
-
- Practical session: Each participant will prepare adipose tissue using the Lipocube device, guided by a dedicated Lipocube operator, testing the processing technique with the previously extracted fat tissue.
- Process: Splitting 100 mL of adipose tissue into 5-6 syringes (20 mL each) for mechanical dissociation.
- Goal: Participants should be able to prepare dissociated adipose tissue for treatment during the original procedure.
4. Open Questions and Cryopreservation Opportunities (1 hour)
-
- Personal session to address any practical queries with the experts of the clinic, the mechanical technology and the laboratory.
- Discussion on the validations, benefits and techniques of cryopreserving adipose tissue for future regenerative use.
