Abstract
A new device, named GID (GID Group Inc. Louisville, CO, USA) (Fig. 53.7), has been introduced in the market after a proper evaluation and clinical research. The idea is to restore adipose graft tissue through washing steps in order to recreate physiologically normal conditions prior to implantation.
The authors discuss the method of utilizing Vaser with GID and compared it to the methods previously used by the authors that included the use of Vaser 2.0 Ultrasound Liposelection combined with the PureGraft washing bag by Cytori. The Cytori System itself was used for preparation, decantation, and harvesting of fat tissue, enhanced by Enzime.
