"SAVE"-Shock-Assisted Viable Extraction: A Minimally Manipulative Method of Processing Regenerative Cells for Clinical Use.

Background: Extraction of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has gained significant attention lately in the realm of regenerative medicine. However, finding highly efficient methods of extraction that also comply with the US regulations has prevented widespread clinical use.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate a novel ASC extraction device to quantify viable ASC extraction and processing efficiency.
