Bone Marrow Concentrate is the final product after taking the cells from the inner soft bone where blood is made and spinning it in the centrifuge to separate the stem cells from other cells. BMC is the end product that is used to help heal diseased or injured tissue.
Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC or BMAC) is a substance of cells taken from your own bone marrow. BMC uses your body's own stem cells that are stored inside the bone marrow to help the body repair tissue that may be damaged or difficult to heal.
Using a minimally invasive technique and local or sedation anesthesia, a needle is used to obtain the bone marrow from a larger bone like the heel bone. The bone marrow is processed with a centrifuge and the useful cells are separated out. The stem cells are then injected back into your body's injured area.
This process takes 40 minutes and is usually done in conjunction with other procedures as it requires more healing time than the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Amniotic Stem Cell treatments, which are more commonly used as stand-alone treatments.
BMC is expected to reduce healing time, reduce inflammation as well as stimulate new tissue regeneration.
