Gravity Decantation Versus the Harvest AdiPrep System
This photo shows final processed adipose tissue samples using standard gravity decantation methodology versus the Harvest AdiPrep system. The gravity decantation sample (left) shows minimal separation of contaminating components from the original lipoaspirate, even after 30 minutes. In contrast, the Harvest AdiPrep product (right) achieves isolation of contaminating lipids, oils, and infranatant fluid, yielding a clean, concentrated adipose tissue graft ready for delivery to the patient.
