KNEE APPLICATIONS
Whether you are addressing damaged tissue in an articular cartilage, attachment points, or surrounding soft tissue; consider Wharton’s jelly for Connective Tissue Supplementation to repair or replace the damaged tissue with new healthy connective tissue.

One of Regenative Labs’ goals is to give patients with articular cartilage defects more options in their quest to restore their health. Options exist for those addressing damaged tissue involving attachment points or surrounding soft tissue as well. Let Regenative Labs demonstrate how Wharton’s jelly for Connective Tissue Supplementation can be used to repair or replace the damaged tissue with new healthy connective tissue.
What is the best option for knee degeneration?
Wharton’s jelly allografts consist of donated human umbilical cord tissue that has been disassociated, suspended in saline, and cryopreserved. Intended for homologous use only, their main function is to provide cushioning and structural support and replace missing or damaged tissue in the patient when applied directly to the defect, or injured area. The allografts are applied via syringe and are typically used in ligament, muscle, or cartilage tears.

improvements in nprs and womac
This data is based on a sample of 178 patients with structural knee defects from 29 clinics enrolled in our observational study. There are 82 males and 96 females, aged 54 to 92. Ninety days after the Wharton’s jelly application, patients reported a 32% improvement in NPRS (current pain) and a 33% overall WOMAC improvement (pain/ stiffness/ function). The progress shown is from only one application, although most care providers apply two Wharton’s jelly allografts for this area.
Improving Quality of Life
When we experience pain, our body sends a message that something is wrong. Pain is merely a symptom of an underlying injury. Using steroids or opiates alone to address pain caused by injury masks the issue instead of addressing the root cause.
With connective tissue supplementation, medical providers have an opportunity to address the problem at its source by inserting new, viable connective tissue ECM directly to the site of the breakdown, or defect (via syringe). The patient’s body can use the collagenic superstructure from the newly transplanted Wharton’s jelly as building blocks to fill voids or defects in cartilage beds or other soft tissues.

About Wharton’s Jelly
Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) was initially characterized in 1656 by Thomas Wharton[1]. Advances in regenerative medicine have increased significantly throughout the past decade. Located between the blood vessels of the umbilical cord and the amniotic epithelium, WJ spans the entire length of the umbilical cord, providing protection, cushioning, and structural support [2,3].
read research articleAdvantages of Wharton’s Jelly
This connective tissue contains high amounts of extracellular matrix components including collagen types I, III, and V, elastin, and fibronectin [1, 2]. Wharton’s jelly mainly provides cushioning and structural support to the umbilical cord but also contains a natural source of long-chain hyaluronic acid and numerous cytokines and growth factors. Studies have described placental tissues to be “immune privileged” as they rarely evoke an immune response in the body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions [4].
