An orthopaedic surgeon, Amarnath Surat, has been granted a patent for inventing a regenerative medical treatment in treating chronic osteoarthritis and sports injuries related to joints using Platelet Rich Plasma — a recent advance in regenerative medicine.
Dr. Amarnath ’s innovation, titled ‘Apparatus and a Closed Extraction System for Platelet-Rich Plasma’, has been granted a patent certificate from the Intellectual Property India, a Government of India office authorised to issue patents, designs, trademarks and Geographical Indications.
The treatment uses platelet-rich plasma extracted from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red blood cells and leukocytes. The platelets with concentrated growth factors are used to stimulate growth of cartilage at the desired site of joint inflammation.
