QMRT approach to Chondrogenesis

Conclusion

Significant main effect, i.e. the increase in cartilage thickness, is due to the treatment only (F = 770.802;P=0.00E+00)
There was no gender difference in the response to the treatment.
There was no laterality effect in response to the treatment
Significant reduction in pain, increased range of movements.
Better joint stability. Significant improvement in general quality of life.
“QMRT is the only known modality that proves cartilage re-growth- and CYTOTRON does it”

Technical Specification of CYTOTRON

Classification: Class Ila Medical Device.

Indication of use: The Device is intended to be used for Regenerative and Degenerative Tissue Engineering i.e, it can be used for regenerating tissues in-situ and to cause degeneration of uncontrolled growth of tissues.

Regeneration of tissues the current indication is for use in protein linked degenerative disorders like Osteoarthritis enabling regrowth of tissue like articular cartilage.

*Contraindications: Critically ill patients on life support system, pregnancy, patients unable to lie down for the duration of therapy, Patients with electrically,Magnetically or mechanically activated implants (eg cardiac pacemakers, Bio stimulators, Neuro stimulators, cochlear Implants, hearing aids)

MRI Incompatible implants near the target region. e.g intra medullary nail, intracranial aneurysm clips, stents, intra orbital metal fragments etc.

Patients with concomitant neoplastic disease especially Chondrosarcoma.
