Cellular Matrix® for Selected Joint & Musculoskeletal Conditions

Combining PRP & Hyaluronic Acid in One Treatment Approach

Cellular Matrix® is a minimally invasive treatment that combines platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with hyaluronic acid in a single treatment approach.

PRP is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, while hyaluronic acid is a substance commonly used in treatments for certain joint conditions. Cellular Matrix® brings these two components together and may be considered for selected joint and musculoskeletal problems.

It may be considered for certain cases of osteoarthritis, joint pain and tendon-related conditions. Whether Cellular Matrix® is appropriate depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, medical history and individual circumstances.

What Is Cellular Matrix®?

Cellular Matrix® combines PRP and hyaluronic acid within the same treatment approach.

A small sample of your blood is taken and processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then combined with hyaluronic acid before being delivered to the selected treatment area.

The aim is to provide a targeted treatment for certain joint and musculoskeletal conditions without traditional open surgery.

Cellular Matrix® is not suitable for every condition. Your clinician will assess your symptoms and diagnosis before recommending treatment.

Why Consider Cellular Matrix®?

If you are looking for a non-surgical option for a suitable joint, tendon or soft-tissue problem, PRP may be worth discussing with a specialist.

Combines PRP & Hyaluronic Acid

Cellular Matrix® brings PRP and hyaluronic acid together in one treatment approach.

Uses Your Own Blood

The PRP component is prepared from a small sample of your own blood.

Minimally Invasive

Treatment is delivered through an injection rather than traditional open surgery.

Targeted Treatment

The treatment can be directed towards the joint or area identified during your clinical assessment.

Outpatient Treatment

Cellular Matrix® can generally be performed as an outpatient procedure, depending on your individual circumstances.

Personalised Approach

The treatment is considered according to your diagnosis, symptoms and overall treatment needs.

What Conditions May Be Considered for Cellular Matrix®?

Cellular Matrix® may be considered for selected joint and musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Certain cases of osteoarthritis
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Selected degenerative joint conditions
  • Certain tendon-related problems
  • Selected sports-related musculoskeletal conditions
  • Other appropriate joint or soft-tissue conditions

The suitability of Cellular Matrix® depends on the specific cause and severity of your symptoms.

How Does Cellular Matrix® Work?

1. Your Condition Is Assessed

Your symptoms, medical history and previous treatments are reviewed to understand whether Cellular Matrix® may be suitable.

2. A Small Blood Sample Is Taken

A small amount of blood is taken from your arm for the PRP component of the treatment.

3. The PRP Is Prepared

The blood sample is processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma.

4. PRP & Hyaluronic Acid Are Combined

The prepared PRP is combined with hyaluronic acid as part of the Cellular Matrix® treatment approach.

5. The Treatment Is Delivered

The prepared treatment is injected into the selected area. Imaging guidance may be used where appropriate to help accurately target the treatment site.

6. Aftercare Advice Is Provided

Your clinician will explain what to expect after treatment and provide advice about activity, recovery and follow-up.

What Are the Potential Benefits?

Depending on your condition, Cellular Matrix® may offer:

  • A combination of PRP and hyaluronic acid
  • Targeted treatment for selected joint conditions
  • A minimally invasive treatment option
  • No traditional open surgery
  • Outpatient treatment
  • A personalised approach based on your diagnosis
  • An option that may be considered before more invasive treatment in appropriate cases

Individual responses can vary. Cellular Matrix® is not a guaranteed treatment and may not be suitable for every patient.

Is Cellular Matrix® Right for You?

Cellular Matrix® may be considered when your symptoms and clinical assessment suggest that a joint or musculoskeletal condition may benefit from this type of treatment.

Your clinician will consider:

  • Your diagnosis
  • The location and severity of your symptoms
  • Your medical history
  • Previous treatments
  • Relevant imaging or scans
  • The condition of the joint or tissue being treated
  • Your individual treatment goals

This helps determine whether Cellular Matrix® is an appropriate option for you.

What Happens After Cellular Matrix® Treatment?

You will receive personalised aftercare advice following your treatment.

Some patients may experience temporary discomfort, swelling or soreness around the injection site. Your clinician will explain what you can expect and when you should return to normal activities.

You may also be advised to follow a rehabilitation programme or continue other aspects of your non-surgical treatment plan.

If you experience unexpected or concerning symptoms after treatment, seek appropriate medical advice.

Personalised Non-Surgical Orthopaedic Care

Every patient has different symptoms, medical history and treatment needs. Cellular Matrix® is therefore considered as part of an individual treatment plan rather than as a standard treatment for everyone.

Our approach focuses on careful assessment and targeted non-surgical treatment where appropriate, helping you understand your options before deciding on the next step.
