“We are very proud of this partnership with Puregraft®, a brand that has been at the cutting edge of technology in cell therapies,” said Juan José Chacón Quirós, Chief Executive Officer of Establishment Labs. “Puregraft® autologous fat transfer has demonstrated long term natural tissue retention, and will enable advanced cell-and-implant hybrid aesthetic and reconstructive treatments in combination with our innovative line of Motiva Implants®.

These are both best-of-breed companies in their respective fields,” said Professor Marcos Sforza, one of the leading voices in combination techniques and advanced technologies in Plastic Surgery. “This partnership will provide surgeons with additional tools and elevate the standard of care for patients.”
