Patented Design Assures Sterility And Quality

  • Advanced design eliminates manual shaking or filtration through syringes
  • Portable, completely sealed, closed-loop device maintains 100% sterility
  • Up to 120mL of dense fat with 40+% microfat yield can be processed – more microfat than an ordinary “syringe-only” adipose concentrating system
  • Microfat of unparalleled viability and quality is produced by gentle separation of micronized fat clusters in the liquid phase, using a separation screen with proprietary configuration and pore size
  • Multiple input and output ports make processing quick and simple
Patented Design
MiniTC
All input and output from MiniTC occurs through sealed valved inlets (luers), maintaining purity and sterility.
MiniTC
The upper compartment is between the top sealed plate and the tissue dispersion screen. The collected lipoaspirate enters here.
MiniTC
The middle compartment is between the tissue dispersion screen and the bottom filter. Microfat accumulates here after washing and centrifugation.
MiniTC
The lower compartment is below the bottom filter. Oil, blood, anesthetic, and debris are collected in this compartment.

Five Reasons Why

1. MiniTC Microfat can be injected with a very fine-gauge needle

2. It produces more regenerative cells and the highest quality microfat

3. Microfat can be combined with other biologics such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)

4. Microfat filler lasts longer than synthetic cosmetic fillers

5. Lower risk of infection means fewer complications

Frequently Asked Questions

There are many – take a look at the list here. Some of the major benefits include speed and simplicity of operation; everything contained in one box; all processing done in-clinic without the need for a procedure room; lower cost than competitors; and, most importantly, purity: it gives the highest cell count and viability.

Patient advantages include minimal chance of rejection; one of the best natural alternatives to surgery; a less time-consuming procedure done in-clinic; faster healing; and longer-lasting treatment. Costs are far lower than surgery and often lower than conservative treatments.

MiniTC is intended for the transfer of harvested adipose tissue in the following specialties: orthopedics, arthroscopic surgery (e.g. shoulder arthroscopy), plastic and reconstructive surgery (when aesthetic body contouring is desired), neurosurgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

Yes. With MiniTC, manual processing of adipose tissue in the lab is eliminated, thus making it more standardized and applicable in clinic settings.

Compared to competitors, MiniTC produces the highest quality microfat in a greater amount. It requires no special equipment, and is likely less expensive. Finally, it’s easy to use and fits your workflow.

FDA clearance is your assurance that MiniTC will produce high-quality microfat. Be warned that not all microfat systems are FDA-cleared!

MiniTC is a disposable, all-in-one-box system. The only equipment you need to use MiniTC is a centrifuge, which Jointechlabs provides.

Yes – adipose tissue contains up to 5% stem cells. The only other usable source of adult stem cells for stem cell therapy is bone marrow, which contains less than one tenth of 1% stem cells. Additionally, stem cells derived from bone marrow harvesting degrade as a person ages, while fat cell stem cells do not.

Certain biologics are better suited to specific uses. Microfat can be used in a wide variety of cases and has distinct advantages. But the best news is that microfat can be used together with other biologics, such as bone marrow or platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
