The original article is “The gentle mechanical force applied by Lipocell preserves ECM and structural integrity, according to our analysis. Lipocell is distinguished from other devices by its simplicity, speed, and operator-independency. Moreover, the dialysis mechanism of Lipocell avoids the risk of fat obstruction that can occur with other systems that exploit cutting filters to cluster fat (i.e., Lipogems). Considering Lipocell vs. Lipogems, the Lipocell final product displays a more preserved structural integrity in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements, avoiding excessive clustering that can alter the mechanical properties of fat. Moreover, Lipocell mechanical forces are less dependent on the strength of the operator, unlike Lipogems beads shaking.”
