Regenerative therapy methods based on the body's own cells and substances (autologous) are becoming increasingly important in modern medicine.
The great advantage is the excellent tolerability - as only the body's own material (blood) is used, side effects are virtually eliminated. These therapies are also characterised by their broad applicability and very good availability.

Possible applications at a glance:

IRAP / Orthokine (interleukin-1 receptor antagonist)
IRAP primarily has an anti-inflammatory effect. A serum rich in IL-1 receptor antagonists is obtained from the horse's blood by incubation and centrifugation. These specifically block the inflammatory messenger substance interleukin-1, which plays a key role in osteoarthritis and joint inflammation. Production takes at least 24 hours, and several doses can be frozen from a blood sample and used as required.

PRP / ACP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is focussed on regeneration. It is also obtained from the horse's blood, but within 15-30 minutes by centrifugation. The resulting platelet-rich plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors that stimulate healing processes in the tissue, promote collagen formation and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. PRP is often used for tendon and ligament injuries, but also for joint diseases. The anti-inflammatory effect is less pronounced than with IRAP, but tissue regeneration takes centre stage.

Pro-Stride
Pro-Stride is a combined biological therapy procedure that combines PRP and IRAP-like anti-inflammatory components in a single treatment. Blood components are extracted and concentrated from the horse's blood in a short procedure (approx. 20-30 minutes) using centrifugation - including leucocytes and thrombocytes as well as anti-inflammatory proteins. Pro-Stride requires only one treatment session and is particularly suitable for horses with osteoarthritis or inflammatory joint conditions where both inflammation control and healing stimulation are important.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF is a further development of the PRP concept. In addition to platelets and leucocytes, it contains a fibrin-rich scaffold that acts like a depot and releases growth factors over days to weeks. As a result, PRF offers particularly long-lasting regenerative stimulation, which makes it interesting for chronic or difficult-to-heal injuries.

Stem cell therapy
Stem cells - whether autologous or exogenous - offer promising possibilities for a wide range of indications: from ligament and tendon damage to poorly healing or extensive wounds to cartilage and bone defects.
In our clinic, the preparation of autologous stem cells is now possible on an outpatient basis and directly on site. We have modern systems at our disposal that fulfil the highest standards in terms of safety and sterility.
