Home / ServicesStem Cell Therapy Exam and Evaluation for Stem Cell Therapy

Examination

Physical Examination, Consultation for appropriateness of stem cell therapy

80

Radiographs

To determine if there is any evidence of cancer as this is a contraindication for stem cell therapy

250

Blood Tests

To determine internal organ function & tolerance of anesthesia. Also, pets that have infections are not candidates for stem cell therapy.

150

Mri

Pets that have spinal or neurological disease that stem cell therapy is being considered require this imaging to determine the location of the lesion.

1500

Surgical Fat Harvest

General anesthesia & a small incision over the upper abdomen to remove a golf ball size amount of abdominal fat.

300

Stem Cell Preparation

Enzymatic Separation of Stem Cells from the fat. Concentration of the stem cells for injection

1500

Platelet Rich Plasma

Blood is collected from your pet & used to concentrate the blood platelets. This "Platelet Rich Plasma" (PRP) is sometimes used alone to stimulate regeneration. PRP may also be used w/ the stem cells to activate & support stem cell function in certain conditions. PRP is used in most cases of regenerative therapy.

250

Sedation for Administration

Some procedures such as intra-articular injection may require sedation

100

I.V. Administration of Stem Cells

Infusion of a preparation of stem cells into your pets blood stream

350

Joint Injection of Stem Cells

Intra-articular injection of cells into the joint space. Price is per joint.

150

Ultrasound Guidance

Some injections require ultrasound to guide the needle into the appropriate tissue

250

Each case is evaluated to determine if Regenerative Therapy is appropriate. A prognosis for therapy will be discussed as well as the likelihood of the need for additional treatment. Stem cell therapy can repair damaged tissues but it may not change the conditions that caused the damage in the first place so repeat therapy may be necessary. This repeat therapy will require additional stem cells from stored cells or from additional surgical collection procedures.

Account Set up

One time fee per family of pets

150

Yearly Storage Fee (waived for first year)

Cells are stored in Liquid Nitrogen Vapor

150

Retrieval Fee

This fee is per aliquot of cells

75

Culturing Fee

Expansion of cells to achieve a therapeutically effective number of Cells

150

Once cells are frozen one time they cannot be re-frozen. For this reason the sample is stored in several (2-4) separate tubes (aliquots). Depending on your pets needs only the amount required will be retrieved so that future stores are still available.

Your veterinarian can use the Stem Cell Safari processing system. Your veterinarian does the diagnostic tests & consultation to determine if your pet is a candidate for stem cell therapy. Then your veterinarian collects a sample of your pets fatty tissue. We collect this tissue & process it returning it to your veterinarian promptly for application of the stem cells to the appropriate area in need of regenerative therapy.

Stem Cell Processing

90 minute process of separating stem cells from fatty tissue.

1000

Platelet Rick Plasma Kit

Allows your veterinarian to collect platelet rich plasma from your pet.

75

Hand Delivery

If local to the Houston Texas are we will provide pick up of adipose tissue & delivery of stem cells to your veterinarians practice

0

Shipping Charges

If your veterinarian is not local to the Houston area then overnight shipping charges are necessary to deliver processed stem cells to your veterinarian.
