Not ready for major invasive surgery?

FDA Cleared for use in Orthopaedics

The LIPOGEMS process may offer a minimally-invasive option to major, invasive orthopaedic surgery. When utilized in orthopaedic medicine, LIPOGEMS technology supports a healing environment to help aid in the repair, replacement, reconstruction, and support of damaged or injured tissues.

Orthopaedic physicians, surgeons and researchers are the first to use the award winning LIPOGEMS device that gently processes and uses your body’s own fat tissue to cushion and support areas of injury or damage as your body heals itself. Ideal for patients that have an orthopaedic condition, unable to get major, invasive surgery, would like another option to major, invasive surgery.

Have you Tried Conservative Treatment Options?

  • Change of habits

  • Prescription pain medication (including opioids)
  • Steroid injections or  Hyaluronic acid injections (a gel shot)

Simple and quick procedure

LIPOGEMS preserves the reparative cells inside of the fat. The minimally invasive procedure can be performed in less than an hour in the physician’s office or in a surgical setting.

Highest quality tissue

Your own fat has the best quality tissue and there is minimal risk of rejection and infection. FAT has 100-500 times more reparative cells than other similar tissue in the body.

FAT doesn’t decline with age

Research has shown that as a person ages, their FAT maintains its reparative properties unlike other similar tissue, which may lose healing capacity with age. 8,9,10

May be used in multiple locations

For patients that suffer from orthopaedic conditions in multiple areas of their body, the Lipogems device can easily process the fat tissue to be used in those areas.

Leading Physicians Weigh-in on LIPOGEMS

Hospital for Special Surgery | New York, NY
Medical Director for NBA Brooklyn Nets, Medical Director for New York Red Bulls

“Orthopaedic issues impact many, from young athletes to weekend warriors to professional athletes,” Dr. Williams added. “I offer this technology to patients who are suffering from orthopaedic issues and are in need to support or cushion in the area to repair, reconstruct, or replace damaged or injured tissue. If a patient suffers from multiple orthopaedic conditions, more fat may be removed and processed through the LIPOGEMS technology to help with those conditions at the same time.”
