  • Publication number: 20240100236
    Abstract: A triple syringe system that allows for a larger combined output of PRP (platelet rich plasma) and PPP (platelet poor plasma). The multi-syringe system allows for the connection of two or more additional syringes. The fractions may be extracted with the multi-syringe system of the present invention at different sequential times, or at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20230309971
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods of collecting stem cells. The methods can comprise connecting the proximal opening of the in-line cage device to a second device for liberating cells from a tissue in a fluid; connecting the distal opening of the in-line cage device to a suction or aspiration apparatus; and collecting stem cells on the graft or suture material. The graft can be e.g., demineralized bone matrix (DBM), bone, soft tissue, cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, adipose tissue, fascia, a suture, or an artificial scaffold. The second device for liberating cells can be an arthroscopic shaver, an arthroscopic bone cutter, an arthroscopic burr, or an arthroscopic drill. The method can further comprise connecting a filter device to the in-line cage device to remove tissue fragments from the fluid.
