IntraGraft® Bone Marrow

    What is
    IntraGraft® Bone Marrow

    The selective aspiration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from
    bone marrow represents an advanced strategy in the field of autologous
    regenerative medicine applied to sports medicine.

    Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) is a cell suspension rich in
    multipotent mesenchymal cells, hematopoietic cells,
    immunomodulatory cytokines, and growth factors (including TGF-β,
    PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1).

    These biological components interact synergistically with the injured tissue microenvironment, exerting anti-inflammatory, trophic, and
    regenerative effects, particularly at the osteoarticular, tendinous, and
    musculo-ligamentous levels.

    Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC)
    in Orthopedics & Traumatology

    BMAC is indicated for the biological treatment of:

    • Early to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle
    • Meniscal and cartilage lesions
    • Chronic tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
    • Muscle injuries and volumetric muscle loss (VML)
    • Carpal tunnel syndrome and entrapment neuropathies
    • Osteoarthritis of the wrist and small joints

    Clinical Benefits

    • Anti-inflammatory
    • Regenerative Effect
    • Analgesic Effect
    • Immunomodulatory Effect
    • Functional Improvement

    Centrifugation vs.
    Mechanical Filtration

    Mechanical separation preserves cell viability better than centrifugation. This enables the collection of bone marrow tissue rich in mesenchymal cells, ensuring better clinical outcomes and greater safety in regenerative medicine treatments.

    Key Features of the
    IntraGraft® Bone Marrow Technique

    Targeted and minimally invasive harvesting

    → Selective aspiration from the iliac crest using dedicated needles, minimizing trauma and pain for the patient.

    Selection of the marrow compartment

    → The hematopoietic compartment of the posterior iliac crest contains the highest concentration of mesenchymal stem cells and osteogenic progenitors.

    Standardized protocol

    → Codified and repeatable technique, performable by orthopedic personnel with specific training.

    High cell vitality concentrate

    → Use of closed-circuit systems for marrow concentration without aggressive centrifugation →preservation of cellular vitality.

    Low risk profile

    → Minimal risk of infection, local complications, or adverse reactions → the concentrate is autologous and biocompatible.

    Easy intraoperative or infiltrative application

    → BMAC can be directly injected or combined with scaffolds/bone substitutes in a versatile and targeted manner.
