Adipose tissue — commonly known as body fat — is much more than stored energy. Researchers have discovered that this tissue naturally contains a rich collection of cells involved in the body’s repair and healing response.
Harvested adipose tissue contains several different components; these include blood cells, fat cells, structural tissue, and the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF). The SVF portion contains a variety of naturally occurring cells that are currently being studied for their potential roles in supporting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and helping maintain healthy joint environments.
GID BIO’s investigational SVF Cell Injection Therapy is designed to isolate and concentrate the SVF portion from a small sample of a patient’s own adipose tissue. Researchers have studied whether these cells may help support the body’s natural healing response in patients living with knee osteoarthritis.
SVF Cell Injection Therapy remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for commercial use.
