How is the Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Material Obtained?
The amniotic and umbilical cord material is obtained from consenting donors after a scheduled C-section. The babies are fine and no embryonic stem cells are used. The material is acquired in a sterile fashion and then processed at an FDA regulated lab.
For amniotic fluid and umbilical cord tissue, it is cryogenically frozen once processing is complete which preserves cell viability. It is kept frozen at -82 degrees Celsius until it needs to be used. Shipping occurs on dry ice to keep frozen.
Per FDA classification, the products are minimally manipulated, cellular allografts that contain multiple extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, stem cells, cytokines and other specialty proteins.
Is the amniotic and umbilical cord material FDA approved?
The amniotic and umbilical cord materials are FDA regulated, NOT FDA approved. They are classified as biologics and regulated as such. Drugs are FDA approved/denied, however, biologics are simply regulated.
The donor history is evaluated, then the material is checked for all types of diseases according to the FDA regulations. To date there have been no adverse events reported by any of R3 providers with over 10,000 cases to date.
What types of musculoskeletal pain is treated?
Dr. Bodner is an expert in treating extremities with arthritis and/or soft tissue injury and is at the forefront of modern technologies. All types of arthritis pain are treated including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, psoriatic, lupus and more. No matter what is causing your joint pain, we can typically help you!
What are the risks of treatment?
Risks of treatment with the regenerative therapies are very small. However, there is a risk of an adverse reaction to any anesthesia used and possibly infection, bleeding, nerve injury, etc. The amniotic and umbilical cord material is immunologically privileged, so it rarely if ever causes a rejection reaction.
