Mumbai: The Ministry of Health, India and DCGI have granted Market Authorization for India’s First Cell Therapy Product of India that is Chondron® ACI by Regenerative Medical Services Regrow. Chondron ACI is indicated for treatment of cartilage defects of the joints. It uses the body's own autologous cartilage cells which are cultured and multiplied for 3-4 weeks at Regrow’s Cell Processing Centre. The cultured cells are then implanted into the patient's damaged joint leading to new cartilage regeneration, avoiding the need of early joint replacement.

We are the first in the country and fourth in the world to achieve this FDA approval.

In India, Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis, affecting over 15 million adults every year. There is no specific treatment proven as yet that can reverse the joint damage caused by osteoarthritis. Hence the objectives of Osteoarthritis management are to reduce the level of pain, reduce inflammation, slow cartilage degradation, improve function and reduce disability.
There are about 4-5 lakhs of knee, ankle, shoulder and hip replacement revision surgeries being performed in India annually and the number is only going up every year. An artificial knee will only last about a decade before wearing out. So if you are under 60, you will have to undergo several more ‘revisions’ in your lifetime. Chondron ACI helps for better solution with effective and fast term results. Similar nature products for Chondron ACI have been available in use since 2001 in countries such as USA, Europe including UK & South Korea and being reimbursed by their respective Health agencies.
