About Us - Living Tissue Management
What exactly is "living tissue management?" Technically speaking, it’s the transfer or manipulation of adipose cells from one area to another. Practically speaking, it’s one of the most vital growth areas in medicine. From cosmetic microsurgery and liposuction to stem cell procedures, living tissue management has become critically important, and focus on the performance and safety of this practice is essential.
Here’s the reality: at the core of fat transfer procedures has always been the basic reusable cannula, an instrument effective for its purpose, but early in its evolution when it comes to maximizing performance and minimizing risk. Why? Because the average cannula is basically an aggressive version of a large, stainless steel needle that is surprisingly porous, jagged and highly destructive to living cell tissue. And even after autoclaving for reuse, its tubular shape may still retain residual tissue, creating risk of cross contamination and potential infection.
At Tulip BioMed, we embrace the idea of making living tissue management as safe and cell-friendly as possible, and we develop core technologies and disposable solutions to extend that idea to levels previously unseen in the industry. We believe true applications of living tissue management aren’t just about the harvesting and transfer of cells, but about doing so in an environment where cell viability is enhanced, and risks of cross-contamination are effectively eliminated.
And that’s why we’re completely committed to delivering on the promise of better procedures through better instruments.

outbreak of a
bacterial
infection among
liposuction
surgery patients
seems to have
been the result
of inadequate
sterilization
and cleaning of
the doctor's
surgical
equipment, a
team of
California and
Texas
researchers
reports. Upon
investigation,
the researchers
found that the
outbreak was
apparently due
to poor surgical
sterilization
practices.
