Abstract: A tissue refining device for collecting and processing tissue received from a harvesting device under suction from a vacuum source comprising an improved canister and separator device wherein the canister is reinforced to avoid cracking, an eccentric funnel is used to separate the space within the canister which also allows for visual inspection and control of the tissue, liquid, and fat. A specially designed barbed spout on the funnel allows for flex at that connection without loss of device integrity. The device also has a proprietary method for placement on its custom stand.

Abstract: A device for use in a system or method of collecting and processing aspirated tissue received from a harvesting device is provided by a canister body having a vacuum port and an evacuation port operable to be placed in communication with a vacuum source, a tissue harvesting port for directing tissue into the canister body received from the harvesting device under suction, and a separator element dividing the canister body into an upper vacuum chamber in communication with the vacuum port and the tissue harvesting port and a lower vacuum chamber in communication with the evacuation port, the separator element including a plurality of apertures enabling fluid to pass between the chambers while restricting tissue from doing the same and a depression with a channel leading to a tissue retrieval port to facilitate processed tissue collection.
