Searching for method to address damaged tissue surrounding the spine?

For a safe and effective alternative to more invasive procedures, CryoText™ for applications to the spine is the place to begin. Are you addressing damaged tissue intradiscally in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebral discs or paraspinal to the surrounding soft tissue or attachment points?

Do you want to get to the root of the problem, as opposed to just masking the pain?

Let Regenative Labs demonstrate how Wharton’s jelly for Connective Tissue Supplementation can be used to repair or replace damaged tissue.

Repair and Replace Damaged Tissue

Intended for homologous use only, the main function of Wharton’s jelly allografts is to provide cushioning and structural support and replace missing or damaged tissue in the patient.

WHARTON’S JELLY ALLOGRAFTS

Consisting of donated human umbilical cord tissue that has been disassociated, suspended in saline, and cryopreserved, Wharton’s jelly allografts are applied directly to the defect, or injured area, in cartilage and soft tissues. The allografts are applied via syringe and are typically used in ligament, muscle, or cartilage tears.

Spine Data ranges chart

This data is based on a sample of 98 patients with various defects of the lumbar spine including paraspinal damage, enthesopathies, and intradiscal cartilage degeneration from 20 different clinics enrolled in our observational study. There are 52 males and 46 females, aged 36 to 92. Ninety days after the Wharton’s jelly application, patients reported a 33% improvement in NPRS (current pain) and a 25% overall WOMAC improvement (pain/stiffness/function). The progress shown is from only one application, although some care providers apply more Wharton’s jelly allografts for this area depending on the severity and type of defects.

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].

Since its initial discovery, there has been significant interest in the use of WJ in regenerative medicine applications[2].

Initial research centered on WJ as a cellular product, dependent on the metabolic activity of living cells to exert its primary function[3]. However, current research demonstrates that WJ exerts an effect independent of any cellular activity[3]. Initially classified as a mucoid connective tissue, we now know that WJ functions as an ideal system to transplant chemokine and growth factors, in addition to providing a biomechanical microarchitecture for collagen extracellular matrix formation in collagen-based defects[4].

ADVANTAGES 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].

Structural Support

Wharton’s jelly provides a natural scaffold to facilitate cellular adhesion [1, 2].
