Regenerative Medicine
Autologous Adipose (fat) Derived Stem / Stromal Cell Therapy
Autologous
adipose (fat) – derived stem / stromal cell (AD – SC) therapy is an effective
regenerative treatment used to repair damaged musculoskeletal connective tissue
ranging from ligaments, tendons, cartilage, discs, muscles, nerve tissue, bone,
etc. It also is involved with tissue regeneration and wound healing. Research
has shown that there are many stem cells present in adipose (fat) tissue. The
use of high density platelet rich plasma (HD – PRP) in combination with adipose
(fat) derived stem / stromal cells enhances the reproduction of adult stem
cells as well as their migration to the damaged tissue area.
Procedure:
The
adipose (fat) is harvested usually from the abdominal wall below the umbilicus
or inner thigh. Subsequently, the fat is placed in a bidirectional centrifuge
resulting in the isolation of adult stem cells. The combination of adipose
(fat) stem cells and high-density platelet rich plasma is then deposited to the
damaged tissue area. Ultrasound guidance is used to deliver the adipose-derived
stem / stromal cells and high-density platelet rich plasma precisely to the
site of injury. This procedure is safe and effective.
