  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTION OF ANGIOGENESIS AND ADIPOGENESIS IN TISSUES THROUGH APPLICATION OF MECHANICAL FORCES
    Publication number: 20240074937
    Abstract: A system and method for promoting angiogenesis and adipogenesis in soft tissue using a tissue enlargement apparatus. The tissue enlargement apparatus includes an interface configured for affixation to the soft tissue. A force generating device is coupled to the interface by a connecting tube for applying mechanical forces to the soft tissue. A processor is coupled to the force generating device and is configured to apply intermittent cyclical patterns of the mechanical forces to the soft tissue to promote angiogenesis and adipogenesis in soft tissue. The intermittent cyclical patterns are based on at least one of duration, frequency, and intensity of the mechanical forces.
    Type: Application
