Professor Paul Lee and patient

Professor Paul Lee: Okay, so this is the ChondroFiller. We're going to treat Hassan with the ChondroFiller. We are checking this out from the freezer early on. We store this in minus 80, freezer normally. And then after that, we store it in minus 20. But just before we do the injection, we have to take it to room temperature to warm it down. Because then next step we're going to do is make it acclimatized to the body temperature before we inject into it. All right, so let's open this box. You can see that it's kind of, you can see the color of it. It's still not 100% completely defrost yet, but we'll finish that process off when Hassan holding onto it with his body heat. Antibiotics going in, looking good. Skin, this really white lining of the skin. Underneath that is like fat and then like a little bit of [unclear] and things. This bit here is the bone. So this ultrasound cannot penetrate through the bone. You can see there's nothing go through here. This is a bit of synovia which is lining the joint. This black bit here is the fluid. I'm going to show you clear now. So if I go around here, you can see that there's lots of fluid in there. So you tap it, squeeze it, and then it goes down. You can see, yeah.

Patient: Feeling really good. It was a painless injection. Dr. Paul Lee drained some fluid and he also did two injection sites. So far, I'm all numbed up. So don't have any pain at the moment.
