Stem Cell Processing Now Available at MAEH
 The harvest, processing and injection of stem cells can now be done in one out-patient
visit to us at the Hospital.
Our new PRP machine, the Magellan Autologous Platelet Separator, made by Arteriocyte Medical Systems has the capability to be used to harvest bone marrow-derived stem cells
for wound healing and soft tissue injuries.
Bone marrow, which contains stem cells, fibrin, granulocytes, monocytes, neutrophils,
and growth factors, is aspirated from the patient's sternum or the point of its hip and
immediately injected into the site of the injury.
Stem cells are present in bone marrow along with the growth factors and other nutrient cells present which may work together
to enhance healing. Recent technology has
enabled bone-marrow aspirate to be significantly concentrated before it is injected
into damaged tissue.
Stem cells contribute to the body's ability to renew and repair its tissues. Unlike mature cells, which are permanently committed
to their fate, stem cells can both renew themselves as well as create new cells of
whatever tissue they belong to
(and other tissues).
