Carl Llewellyn, CEO and President of Lipogems USA, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “Our hope is to heal patients’ tissue using their own Microfat and prevent these patients from receiving ileostomy procedures that may limit them from freely enjoying their lives.” He highlighted the success of Lipogems in Italy, where the technology has helped heal tissue in complex cases, producing enough volume of Microfat to inject into multiple sites. This sets it apart from other adipose-derived therapies and allogenic options.
“The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is committed to supporting innovative technologies that improve the quality of life for the 1 in 100 Americans affected by inflammatory bowel disease,” said Elise Ambrose Associate Vice-President, Business Development, Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. “This partnership with Lipogems will enhance awareness of this technology among providers and patients who may have tried other options with limited relief.”
