Aspirin vs Aloe Vera

For many medications the dosage is clear and within a range. You don’t want to take 1/2 of an aspirin and you don’t want to take 10. The proper dose is clear and stated.
In other instances, you want as much of the active component as possible. For example, if you want relief after summer sun exposure and apply aloe vera lotion, you want a very high percentage of aloe vera. There may be other ingredients such as stabilizing agents, but basically the more aloe vera, the greater the relief.

The Microfat Goal: Regenerative Cells

Microfat has many compounds within it that science believe are beneficial. Of all the compounds, the most beneficial are regenerative cells. In fact, the regenerative cells are the primary reason why microfat is prepared and injected into humans for orthopedic purposes.
Within microfat, the amount of active component desired is similar to the above aloe vera example. The more active regenerative cells in any given amount of microfat the better.
Which leads to two questions. First, how many regenerative cells do you get from a microfat injection? Second, does the amount of regenerative cells differ depending on the medical device that processes the microfat?

Microfat Dose Math

Let’s look at how to calculate the amount of regenerative cells within any given quantity of microfat. The fat that becomes processed into microfat already contains regenerative cells. The process of making microfat manipulates those regenerative cells into a condition where they are most useful. The formula that determines the amount of regenerative cells available, (in other words the dose), is the cell count times the cell viability.
In a given amount of microfat, the cell count measures the quantity of regenerative cells present, while the cell viability shows the percentage of the regenerative cells that are alive, active, and able to do their job. [Note- it’s actually a bit more complicated than this but the above captures the essence].
Based upon the above, we can calculate the total dose that is available in any microfat injection.
We will use a 10 cc microfat injection – a very typical injection quantity – for this analysis, although the total amount of material that is injected in a microfat injection varies somewhat depending on the physiology of the individual patient, the doctor, the location, and a number of other factors.

The Dose is in the Details

Let’s put it all together – for the average processed microfat, the cell count may range from .3 million cells per cc to as much as .6 million cells per cc, while the cell viability might range anywhere from 80% to 93 or 95%. Working within of both of those ranges and applying it to a 10 cc injection results in a total dose of active regenerative cells of 3 – 5 million cells. Pretty good!


Now let’s look at the MiniTC microfat processing device from Jointechlabs. MiniTC has a cell viability near the top of the range of about 92 to 93%.
However, due to the extremely gentle and patented way that MiniTC processes, the cell count is about 1.6 million per cc – much higher than typical. Putting this math together, you get about 15 million active regenerative cells in a 10 cc microfat injection processed by MiniTC – compared to 3 – 5 million from other medical devices.
Microfat processed by MiniTC provides many more viable regenerative cells than other microfat processing systems.

Aloe Vera Revisited

The more aloe vera you get in any given amount of product the better off you are from an after-sun relief standpoint. The same is true with microfat and the result is very clear. MiniTC provides a dose far higher in a typical 10 cc injection then primary competitors.

The Bottom Line for Patients and Physicians

Patients, if you are getting or considering a microfat injection, ask your doctor if the microfat processing device is MiniTC. If not, show your doctor this post and see if he or she will use MiniTC for your procedure.

Physicians, if you already use a microfat device, consider MiniTC to achieve a higher dose of active regenerative cells. But don’t take our word for it – ask the manufacturer of the device you currently use for information about cell count and viability of their system. Then you can see in black-and-white why MiniTC’s dose advantage is real and important.
