Iranian Experts Make Special Syringe to Prepare Adipose Tissue for Stem Cell Isolation

“Our company has for the first time in Iran designed and produced a syringe that is used in various medical specialties and makes it easier and more accurate for doctors. This syringe can be locked in suction mode (creating negative pressure),” Zahra Daneshi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.

She explained that the syringe has features like stable negative pressure, lower-lock interface and cap, controllable negative pressure, two-way locking system, and volume and pressure graduations.

"The syringe can be used for blood exchange in newborns, pericardiocentesis, liposuction in limited volume, preparation of fat tissue for isolation of stem cells, drainage of breast cysts with ultrasound control, aminosynthesis, sample preparation for cytology from thyroid and lymph nodes, removing clots from vessels such as coronary arteries, drawing joint fluid, drawing pus and fluids from cysts and various body lesions, drawing blood and fluids from the chest and abdominal cavity, and taking blood samples from the femoral vein,” Daneshi said.

In a relevant development last year, Iranian researcher Amir Reza Salehi Foroushani had also designed and manufactured a non-venous blood sampling device.

Salehi Foroushani told ANA that non-venous blood sampling is performed without the need for a syringe.

In common blood sampling methods using syringes, there may be some problems. Venous sampling can sometimes rupture the blood cells, producing results that are inaccurate.

Moreover, patients may feel faint after any type of blood draw. So, professional people are needed to do the sampling job.

However, non- venous blood sampling is used by negative pressure with the use of microneedles.
