Florida Passes Plastic Surgery Law Mandating Use of Ultrasound Guidance to Help Ensure Safety of Gluteal Fat Grafts
As of July 1, 2023, Florida physicians who perform gluteal fat grafting must use ultrasound guidance to clearly see that fat is injected only in the subcutaneous space and never into the muscle. When fat grafts have inadvertently been injected into the gluteal muscle, the fat has traveled to the heart, lungs, and brain with fatal results. Dedicated to improving patient safety, Clarius is pleased to announce that today the Clarius L7 HD3 is the leading wireless ultrasound scanner among Florida's plastic surgeons.
