Adipose tissue, most commonly obtained through a standard liposuction procedure, is the richest known source of adult stem and regenerative cells in the body.
The stem and regenerative cells that are extracted using the Celution System are not derived from embryos.
The approach is founded on the use of stem cells, the special regenerative cells with which organs renew and repair themselves.
Stem cells are special regenerative cells with which the body replaces or repairs its own tissues.
Vet-Stem processes the fat sample and concentrates the regenerative cells.
Horses treated with the regenerative cells for tendon injuries had a 77% return to prior level of performance and 94% of them were sound one year or more after treatment.
This gives the CVRL the rights to provide fat-derived stem and regenerative cells to veterinarians throughout the Middle East region.
Stem and regenerative cells are isolated from a small sample of the animal's own fat and delivered back to the veterinarian within 48 hours.
Then Vet-Stem trained technicians isolate regenerative and stem cells from the fat sample.
Vet-Stem also provides storage of stem and regenerative cells for future use.
