Short video/transcript excerpt explaining that adipose (fat)-derived stem cells are a common, abundant source of stem cells compared with bone marrow, and that they are harvested via simple liposuction and prepared using devices (e.g., PureGraft, Lipogems) that break up fat to free stem cells for direct injection into joints or tissues.

Questions this video answers

Speaker states both "probably 20 times more stem cells per milliliter" and also "about 500 times more" (verbal claims).

PureGraft and Lipogems.

Via a simple liposuction procedure; alternatively fat is processed by devices that break up fat cells to free stem cells for direct injection.

Chapters

The most common source of stem cell we're using now is fat derived stem cells. So in your fat tissue, which most of us have plenty, you've got a very rich supply of stem cells. In fact, there's probably 20 times more stem cells per milliliter of fat tissue than there is per milliliter of bone marrow, about 500 times more. So it's very rich supply on the type of stem cells that we want. The stem cells are harvested through a very simple liposuction procedures. And there's two ways this is approached. One is to use devices that break up the fat cells. There's different kits out there, pure graft and lipogems, where and the machine breaks up the fat cells, frees up the stem cells, and it's injected directly into the joint or into the tissue we injected into.
