Amniotic Allograft Therapy – Better than PRP?

In case of an injury or damage, growth factors are the powerful natural agents that signal cells to reach the site that needs healing. They’re also key elements of the amniotic membrane, and along with specialized cytokines and enzyme inhibitors, can enhance healing. Now the same growth factors can be utilized to allow your own damaged tissue to regenerate.

The amniotic membrane, or sac, of the placenta contains high concentrations of hundreds of growth factors. This part of the placenta helps the baby grow in the mother’s womb. This part of the placenta can now be preserved and purified, after delivery by mothers who have already been screened and have voluntarily donated the tissue.

An allograft refers to tissue that comes from another human. Since the tissue from the amniotic membrane is non-immunogenic, there is no risk of rejection. In addition, it is rigorously screened and tested before terminal sterilization.

How does Amniotic Allograft Therapy Work?

The amniotic membrane products work similar to PRP injections. But the growth factorconcentration is much higher than in PRP. When these growth factors are injected into an injured tissue, they can –

  • reduce inflammation
  • reduce scar tissue formation
  • improve healing by recruiting stem cells to the site of injury

What is AmnioFix?

AmnioFix® is the amniotic membrane allograft used at Atlanta Innovative Medicine. Its effectiveness in fighting osteoarthritiswon the regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) status from the FDA but it can be used to treat any joint or spine condition, such as full and partial tears of ligaments and tendons.

The AmnioFix biologic contains–

  • more than 226 different growth factors
  • specialized cytokines
  • enzyme inhibitors, including ones that help enhance soft tissue healing

With over 400,000 allografts since 2006, there have beenZero FDA reportable adverse reactions, according to MiMedx.

Is AmnioFix better than PRP?

With PRP, there is great variability in growth factor profiles between any two donors. This leads toa lack of consistency in outcomes and healing potential. In addition, the certain factors’ concentrations decrease as patient age increases.

AmnioFix can help you ifconservative treatments, such as anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and bracing have failed to provide relief, or if you are looking for a non-steroidal option.

Amniotic allograft therapy can help in treating pain associated with –

  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Rotator cuff tendonitis
  • Degenerative arthritis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Other related conditions

To understand whether your injury or condition is a good candidate for treatment with amniotic allograft therapy, make an appointment with a trusted regenerative medicine clinic or book a telehealth consultation.
