How to Use:

Mesenchymal Stem Cells for equine and canine can be ordered directly from Celulavet if you are a registered veterinary practice in South Africa. Should you as an owner wish to purchase stem cells, these will be shipped directly to a veterinary practice of your choice. Please note these will need to be used immediately, so preplan your visit to your veterinarian. All orders will be shipped once payment has been received.  

Stem cells are now available in South Africa for treatment of arhtritis and ligament or tendon problems

1. 

  • Remove the vial from the shipping container and maintain at  2-8°C until point of care.

  • Remove the blue cap from the injection vial containing the cells.

  • Aseptically draw the contents from the vial into a syringe. Depending on the volume required for injection, the cells can be further diluted with normal 0.9% sterile saline.

  • The entire content of one vial (6,000,000) can be used to treat one large joint (eg stifle) or can be divided into two doses (3,000,000 each) to be used on two smaller joints (eg both naviculars)

  • It is recommended that the cells are injected as soon as possible after receipt. If this is not an option, the cells should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 72hrs from the date of preparation which will be visible on the vial.

  • Use sterile technique to prepare the joint for injection.

  • DO NOT ADD ANTIBIOTICS to the treated joint (antibiotics should not compensate for poor sterility). This will affect the viability and effectiveness of the treatment.

  • UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST CORTISONE BE ADDED TO THE STEM CELLS. CORTISONE IS CYTOTOXIC and will interfere with the therapeutic response.
