The Mini-Stem System

Brandon, FL – September 26, 2024 – Jointechlabs, Inc., a Florida-based regenerative medicine devices and therapeutics company, has proudly announced the European CE Mark approval of its Mini-Stem System®. This revolutionary product paves the way for non-surgical treatment of joint pain and arthritis, in addition to sports injuries. Mini-Stem System produces microfat that can also be used in wound healing and as a biologic filler in aesthetic procedures.

Mini-Stem System: Game-Changer in Regenerative Medicine

The CE Mark approval is a significant milestone for Jointechlabs, underscoring their continuous commitment to developing cutting-edge regenerative medicine devices and therapies aimed at relieving pain and promoting healing using substances derived from a patient’s own body.

The standard treatment for joint pain and osteoarthritis has often involved the use of pain killers or invasive surgery. These treatments come with their own sets of risks and limitations.

The Mini-Stem System addresses these challenges head-on by offering a non-surgical and long-lasting alternative for pain relief. This innovative system is designed to optimize safety, efficacy, and ease of use. This provides a much-needed option for sports medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons in Europe.

About the Mini-Stem System

The Mini-Stem System is a cutting-edge dual function medical device. From a patient’s own fat, the system produces the industry’s purest orthobiologic microfat for use in multiple regenerative medicine applications. Additionally and uniquely, the system can replicate the multi-step laboratory process of isolating SVF from fat. The portable, closed-loop device introduces and collects the materials through particular luer ports. It then undertakes an SVF protocol that includes tissue washing, tissue enzymatic digestion, and filtration of the digested fraction. The resulting microfat and SVF allow advanced pain relief therapies to be applied.

Furthermore, the technology is positioned to be used locally in a doctor’s office with minimal discomfort and recovery time. These benefits translate into more effective patient management and potentially lower healthcare costs, an important consideration for healthcare systems worldwide.
