A tissue processing system for dissociation of and release of cellular components from adipose tissue to prepare stromal vascular fraction includes a portable tissue processing unit for containing biological material including adipose tissue during enzymatic digestion processing and a digestion drive unit configured to receive the tissue processing unit for rotational processing of the tissue processing unit about an axis of rotation. The unit has an upright orientation and a reclined orientation in which the axis of rotation is at a reclined angle to horizontal relative to the upright orientation. The digestion drive unit is configured to receive and drive rotation of the tissue processing unit in the reclined orientation. Methods for processing biological material including adipose tissue include enzymatically digesting adipose tissue with rotation of a tissue processing unit around an axis of rotation in a reclined orientation.

Described are embodiments including methods and devices for venting a handpiece of a medical device. These embodiments provide a vent for the handpiece. A porous membrane is positioned over an opening of the vent to allow gas, including steam, to enter and escape from the handpiece and prevent liquids from entering the handpiece. Other embodiments include methods and devices for holding an ultrasonic driver assembly within a handpiece and preventing the ultrasonic driver assembly from rotating within the handpiece. These embodiments include positioning the ultrasonic driver assembly such that the ultrasonic driver assembly is held in place at a node of the ultrasonic driver assembly and an anti-rotation mechanism is also located at the node.
