How Ossinext works?
FGF
Fibroblast Growth Factor leads to Proliferation and chemotaxis of fibroblasts, increased hyaluronic acid synthesis.
PDGF
Platelet derived growth factor leads to collagen synthesis, enhanced proliferation of bone cells, chemotaxis of fibroblasts.
TGF-β
Transforming Growth Factor-β leads to fibroblast proliferation, synthesis of type I collagen, deposition of bone matrix.
IGF-1
fibroblasts chemotaxis increased hyaluronic acid synthesis, enhanced bone formation.
SDF-1-α
Stromal-cell-derived Growth Factor-1-α supports primary adhesion and migration of progenitor cells.
Is Ossinext right for you?
Patient of knee osteoarthritis with:
- Mild to moderate swelling around the joint
- Limited range of motion of the joint
- Pain while movement of the joint which gets worse especially towards the end of activity or end of day
- X-rays cartilage loss is revealed by a narrowing of the space between the bones in the joint
- Any other patient as per judgement of treating doctor
Other conditions: (as per judgement of treating doctor)
- Hip and Ankle Osteoarthritis
- Chronic Tendonitis/ Tendonitis in elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle

Steps to prepare Ossinext GFC
1. Blood Collection
Collect 4 ml of blood in each vacutainer provided in pack.
2. Platelet Activation
Gently invert the vacutainer 6 to 10 times and then keep it upright for 30 mins.
This allows Wockhardt’s proprietary chemical activator to activate the platelets.
3. GFC Separation
Counter balance the vacutainers and centrifuge the vacutainers at 3400rpm for 10 mins.
4. GFC Collection
Invert the vacutainer so the GFC can be collected at its cap through a needle.
For maximum recovery, insert the needle’s tip to enter beneath the cap.
5. GFC Injection
Pure, acellular, autologous growth factors are now ready to inject.

What are the possible side effects of Ossinext?
Since Ossinext GFC Therapy is prepared from the patient’s own blood, it is safe and has no negative effect. Moreover, it is pure and it does not contain any RBCs or WBCs ( unwanted cells that are present in PRP). Therefore, the risk of pain and inflammation because of GFC itself is minimal. The reactions are generally injection-related & of mild to moderate impact. These usually resolve in a few days. Most of the patients tolerate GFC therapy very well.
