Check out this Silicon Valley Business Press release. The FDA just released expnaded indications for Lipogems which is the newest regenerative therapy we are utilizing that uses your own fat to help heal orthopedic injuries and arthtritis. These expanded indications by the FDA include "minimally invasive surgery in joints" such as arthroscopy. It also opens the way for further applications in the form of regenerative injections. The President of Lipogems USA states it very well,"The ability to provide patients with alternative solutions to major surgery throughout their lives is important in helping them to maintain and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. This new clearance will give both physicians and patients better clarity on the indications for use of the Lipogems System, which we are confident will have a positive effect on the healing process for patients who are candidates for arthroscopic surgery and those seeking alternatives to major surgery."
