Measure
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Blood will be drawn from the patient using the Pure PRP II system into a syringe with anticoagulant (sodium citrate). 1 mL of blood will be separated and sent to a lab for analysis. Remaining blood will be separated into a single concentrating device and centrifuged to separate red blood cells from plasma and platelets. The plasma and platelets will be separated off with a syringe and re-centrifuged to separate the platelets from the plasma. 1 mL will be separated and sent to a lab for analysis leaving 6 mL for injection. Both the 1 mL of blood and the 1 mL of PRP will be sent to an independent lab to undergo analysis for CBC, TNC, human CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell assay and CFU-F. Physician will then inject the PRP into the affected knee joint. Pure PRP II: The Pure PRP II system will be used to collect and concentrate blood into platelet rich plasma that will be injected into the knee.
Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)
Bone marrow will be harvested from the posterior iliac crest using the PureBMC system. 50 mL of bone marrow will be drawn into one syringe containing 10 mL of sodium citrate. Marrow will be filtered and centrifuged for separation of the bone marrow concentrate. Plasma and cell concentrate will be separated off with two syringes and re-centrifuged to separate the cell concentrate from the plasma. After plasma is drawn off, BMC will be drawn into a syringe for injection into affected knee. BMC production procedure results in 7 mL of product and 1 mL will be separated and sent to a lab for analysis. Both 1 mL of BMA and 1 mL of BMC will be sent to an independent lab to undergo analysis for CBC, TNC, human CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell assay and CFU-F. PureBMC: The PureBMC system will be used to collect and concentrate bone marrow aspirate into bone marrow concentrate that will be injected into the knee.
