What is the Stem Cell / Medicinal Signaling Cell treatment process for the knee?

Stem Cell / Medicinal Signaling Cells are found in various areas of the body, the cells that are used in relation to joint problems are known as mesenchymal Stem Cells / Medicinal Signaling Cells. These cells are harvested from the abdominal fat or bone marrow under general anaesthetic using a specific type of needle and syringe.

Once the cells are harvested, the various elements of the fluid are separated from each other in a closed-circuit system. Next, the concentrated cells are isolated, and the surgeon injects them into the knee using an X-ray for precise guidance to the relevant area. Stem Cell / Medicinal Signaling Cell treatment for knees is an outpatient procedure, it takes around 1 hour, and patients can go home later in the same day.
