Lipogems® System

Six MIRROR-affiliated physicians were trained on the Lipogems® system in sessions conducted at Uniformed Services University and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital.

The Lipogems® system is a sterile single-use medical device intended for the closed-loop processing and transferring of autologous adipose tissue in a single surgical step. MIRROR Project #11 utilizes this technology to determine the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive (percutaneous) intrameniscal injection with autologous, micro-fragmented adipose tissue under ultrasound guidance for symptomatic meniscal injuries.
