liposuction aspirate
Subject: liposuction aspirate

Wouldn't be the first time an MD used a word that was "no such word".  What could "submatent" mean?  Makes me think this way:  MAT = mesenteric adipose tissue.  Google images will display the typical product of liposuction if you do that search.  Could be that the MD suctioned an area slightly below that tissue, i.e. "submesenteric adipose tissue."  "E-N-T" would be the suffix that implies the product of that aspiration.  If not, then I am just as stumped as you are.   
wouldn't that be *aspirate* ??

with "aspirate" sounding like "aspirit."  and yes, aspiration of the knee would be considered a surgical procedure...
a knee aspirate would be considered a procedure, at least from my experience.
