Okyanos Adopts WAL/ body-jet eco for Use in Cell Therapy

Okyanos, the leader in cell therapy, announced the adoption of body-jet eco for use in the harvesting of adult stem cells for use in cell therapy. The Okyanos procedure begins with the extraction of a small amount of body fat, a process done using advanced water-jet assisted liposuction technology. The body-jet eco system is utilized during this procedure and allows a larger number of viable adult stem cells to be harvested. After separating the cells from fat tissue, the Okyanos medical doctor immediately injects these cells into and around the area needing treatment allowing targeting of the cells to repair damaged tissue.

According to Dr. Todd Malan, Chief Cell Therapy Officer and General Surgeon at Okyanos, who was involved in helping develop the appropriate settings of the body-jet eco use in adult stem cell harvesting, The body-jet eco was used during our first stem cell procedure at Okyanos. It performed flawlessly as expected and we feel it meets our tough standards. This is much gentler and more precise, making the overall procedure faster with less trauma to the surrounding tissue and less diversion of the adult stem cells from the intended area.

The body-jet eco is part of the water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) family of devices, which detaches the fat gently from the tissue structure using a flat, fan-shaped water jet spray. The surrounding connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels remain in-tact which makes this procedure much gentler on the patient and leads to a quicker recovery with less pain medication required. The WAL process has a very high viability of fat cells and stem cells with a high take rate after fat grafting. The WAL family of devices is manufactured by human med AG with its headquarters in Schwerin, Germany, and distributed in North America by CAREstream America with its headquarters in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

Because the treatment is minimally invasive it requires that patients be under only moderate sedation. Post-procedural recovery consists of rest in a private suite for several hours that comfortably accommodates up to 3 family members.
