OUR VISION

Stromal vascular fraction prepared from adipose tissue contains a large number of regenerative cells such as adipose-derived stem cells (AdSC) but also endothelial and progenitor cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. AdSCs share similar properties as stem cells derived from bone marrow. They can differentiate into different cell lines such as bone, fat, cartilage and muscle and secrete a large number of cytokines and growth factors (e.g., HGF, IL-6, TGF-β1) that are involved in tissue regeneration.

AutoCart describes the surgical procedure, where cartilage lesions are treated by using solely the patient´s own materials. With a SabreTooth shaver blade 3 or 4mm cartilage particulates are resected, collected in the GraftNet device and then transferred into a 1ml application syringe. After mixing with some PRP the particulates are applied into the lesion by using an application cannula and then fixed with an autologous thrombin solution produced by the Thrombinator device. At the end the whole construct is sealed with an additional layer of a PRP / Thrombin mix.

The Freestyle™ OA provides off-loading of the medial or lateral compartment for patients with mild to moderate unicompartmental osteoarthritis. The simple wraparound design allows patients to apply and remove the brace with ease. Comfortable, breathable material provides focused compression around the knee joint. The single-sided low profile hinge encourages patient compliance, while the innovative thumbwheel dial allows precision unloading adjustments without the use of a tool.

The Angel cPRP and bone marrow processing system uses a proprietary platelet sensor and 1-button automation to deliver customized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrate from bone marrow aspirate (BMA). Bone marrow is a rich source of platelets and nucleated progenitor cells. The Angel device is the only one to provide PRP concentrate from BMA with adjustable cellular levels.

The Angel system is the only fully automated system that utilizes 3-sensor technology (3ST) and one-button automation to prepare customized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) formulations. The Angel system has the capability to deliver platelet concentrations up to 18x baseline with adjustable leukocyte concentrations. The Angel system utilizes the principle of flow cytometry, or light absorption by cells, to achieve precise separation with reproducible results. Platelet-rich plasma may be mixed with allograft and autograft bone prior to application to an orthopedic site.

The Arthrex ACP double-syringe system is used to facilitate the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a small sample of blood at the patient’s point of care. The PRP can be mixed with autograft and allograft bone prior to application to an orthopedic surgical site as deemed necessary by the clinical use requirements. There has been increased interest in autologous blood products for use in a number of orthopedic therapies.

Polar Care Wave combines motorized cold therapy with active compression in a simple and compact system, making it ideal for facility and home use. Polar Care Wave is easily transported from the hospital, physical therapy clinic or athletic training room to the patient’s home, extending the benefits of cold and compression.

The Vista® CTO provides added motion restriction and has multiple adjustment points to help ensure a comfortable, effective fit for the vast variety of patient anatomies. Like the Vista Collar, the Vista CTO is fully adjustable and only one size is required, reducing inventory costs and keeping patient care the main priority.
