Can one device transform the future of fat grafting?
Join Dr. Grant Stevens on this compelling episode of The Technology of Beauty as he welcomes Dr. David Kirn, the innovative mind behind the Orchid device—a cutting-edge, all-in-one system engineered to simplify and optimize the fat grafting process. Designed with both efficiency and predictability in mind, Orchid enables surgeons to harvest, purify, and re-inject fat using a completely mechanical, self-contained system that eliminates the need for centrifuges, decanting, or a complex setup.
In this episode, David explains how his years in aesthetic surgery and a longstanding frustration with the inefficiencies of traditional fat grafting led to the development of this revolutionary tool. By using an FDA-approved absorbent material to remove oil and aqueous content, the Orchid device delivers a consistently high-quality fat graft with minimal waste and maximum viability. With each cycle taking only minutes, the system allows for fat grafting procedures to be performed in-office, significantly cutting down time and overhead for physicians while offering long-lasting, natural results for patients.
David also shares insights into the FDA pathway, future product expansions, and how Orchid could position itself as a market disruptor—not just in facial fat grafting, but also in breast and body applications. If you're interested in the technology reshaping aesthetic medicine, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.
