PETS STEM CELLS TREATMENT

The animal extracts a piece of subcutaneous fat under anaesthesia and sends it to the laboratory for stem cell culture to obtain more mesenchymal stem cells. The stem cells obtained will be injected into the problematic joints to increase the ability and rate of regeneration. This therapy is autologous stem cell therapy and may require multiple injections. Stem cell therapy can also be used to treat chronic renal failure in cats and heart disease in dogs. In these cases, a long catheter is used to deliver stem cells to the kidney or heart.

 

Many people may have heard of SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) and PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma). SVF refers to stromal vascular factor, which is one of the stem cell treatments. However, the substance contained in SVF has not yet been fully determined. Scientists only know that it is composed of stem cells and growth factors and growth factors can weaken the inflammatory response and reduce pain. It also promotes cell growth and regeneration. PRP refers to plasma rich in platelets. It contains only growth factors and is commonly used in orthopaedics and trauma care. Making SVF and PRP is relatively easy and takes a short time. ePETS Medical Group have developed in-house kits to make SVF and PRP.
