Frequently Asked Questions
Patient advantages include minimal chance of rejection; one of the best natural alternatives to surgery; a less time-consuming procedure done in-clinic; faster healing; and longer-lasting treatment. Costs are far lower than surgery and often lower than conservative treatments.
MiniTC is intended for the transfer of harvested adipose tissue in the following specialties: orthopedics, arthroscopic surgery (e.g. shoulder arthroscopy), plastic and reconstructive surgery (when aesthetic body contouring is desired), neurosurgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery and laparoscopic surgery.
Yes. With miniTC , manual processing of adipose tissue in the lab is eliminated, thus making it more standardized and applicable in clinic settings.
Compared to competitors, miniTC produces the highest quality microfat in a greater amount. It requires no special equipment, and is likely less expensive. Finally, it’s easy to use and fits your workflow.
FDA clearance is your assurance that miniTC will produce high-quality microfat. Be warned that not all microfat systems are FDA-cleared!
MiniTC is a disposable, all-in-one-box system. The only equipment you need to use miniTC is a centrifuge, which Jointechlabs provides.
Yes – adipose tissue contains up to 5% stem cells. The only other usable source of adult stem cells for stem cell therapy is bone marrow, which contains less than one tenth of 1% stem cells. Additionally, stem cells derived from bone marrow harvesting degrade as a person ages, while fat cell stem cells do not.
Certain biologics are better suited to specific uses. Microfat can be used in a wide variety of cases and has distinct advantages (shown here). But the best news is that microfat can be used together with other biologics, such as bone marrow or platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
