PLATELET RICH PLASMA AND PLATELET GEL

Canine, equine and feline applications of platelet rich plasma and platelet gel include the treatment of any surgical and non-surgical wounds (acute and chronic), fractures and tendon and ligament injuries.  Traumatic wounds from motor vehicle accidents and burns can benefit from platelet gel. Similarly, the treatment of non-healing diabetic wounds are also aided by this therapy.

ADULT STEM CELLS

Warning: Images contain graphic content

Bone marrow-derived stem cells are used to treat orthopedic injuries in canine and equine involving tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone. These treatments are relatively new in canines.

Equine stem cell applications include treatment of injuries of the superficial digital flexor tendon, suspensory ligament, check ligament, subchondral bone cyst lesions, bone fractures and treatment of non-healing fractures (non-unions of long bones).
