Equine Sports Medicine and Regenerative Therapies

Pro-Stride®APS Autologous Protein Solution Device

Pro-Stride is a Regenerative Therapy solution used to treat joint pain, inflammation, and osteoarthritis. Blood is collected from your horse and is processed to produce a highly concentrated solution of anti-inflammatory proteins and healing factors (including IRAP, IL-1RA, A2M, sIL-1R and sTNF-Rs). This solution is then injected into the affected joint, where it blocks inflammatory proteins within the joint.

Your horse has several naturally occurring inhibitors (anti-inflammatory proteins) to block the pro-inflammatory cytokines. These include the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1RA or IRAP), soluble interleukin-1 receptor (SIL-1R) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (STNF-Rs). Pro-Stride highly concentrates these inhibitors to help reduce pain and protect the cartilage.

Pro-Stride has been shown to be safe for the horse:

  • Natural and autologous (made up of cells from horse’s own body)
  • High concentration of anti-inflammatory proteins (including IRAP, IL-1RA, A2M, sIL-1R and sTNF-Rs)
  • Proven effectiveness
  • Clinically demonstrated
  • Able to manage a wide range of key clinical issues
