Regenexxspends heavily on innovationand we have a PhD led lab research team and a physician/bio stats led clinical research team to constantly update what we can offer. A couple of years agowe started various projects to determine if we could come up with a way of processing bone marrow that nobody had ever used. Seeking todouble or even triple the number of stem cells extracted in a bone marrow aspiration, we exceeded our own expectations and increasedit 500%+ over what we could do before.

Using our previousprocedure, which was already superior to anything else, we could extract about 3-4times thestem cells per cc over what the average automated centrifuge could do. This is important, because these little machines are used by 98% of the physicians performingbone marrow stem cell procedures. There is no real technical expertise required to use these machines. You just place the sample in the machine and push the ON button. Because of this and the fact that these machines are aone-size-fits-all solution to process very different bone marrow samples from very different patients, it wasnt hard to outperform thesedevices. However, our research team investigated many different ways to process marrow. After discarding many, we finally discovered one that was pretty revolutionary. Andwhile extracting more stem cells is a good thing, it doesnt really make adifference if it doesnt improve a patients procedure outcome.

As you can see from this chart, there weredramatic, statistically significant changes in the LEFS functional scale (knee function) and pain relief with the new process when we compare many treated patients (average follow-up is 5 months). So not only are we getting more stem cells, but were now getting better results over a procedure that was already superior to anything else being offered.

All Regenexx network providers are offering this procedureand all have been trained in the process.This is oursecond generation same day stem cell procedure and were currentlyworking on the third. Were on our third generation platelet lysate (a mix of growth factors isolated from platelets) and working on our fourth. Were on our second generation platelet rich plasma(Super Concentrated Platelets) and working on our third.

This innovation issomething youll never see from small clinics offering stem cell procedures using inferiortechnology. At Regenexx, were focusing 100% on orthopedic stem cell and platelet procedures that produce the best possible outcomes for our patients.
