Discover the power of iCCS that stimulates the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines, providing pain relief, cartilage protection, and anti-aging benefits
IDRIA S+ contains glass beads coated with positively charged ions. The interaction between beads and monocytes can stimulate the cells to release inflammatory mediators, such as the anti-inflammatory IL-1Ra. As well as increase the concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 without requiring an incubation period. Within 40 minutes, IDRIA S+ can process 30 ml of whole blood to produce 15 ml of autologous serum rich in cytokines. IDRIA S+ is combined with the ultrafiltrator Protsmart.
By using the combination of IDRIA S+ and Protsmart 2 for a single treatment, it is possible to obtain a hyper-concentrated autologous serum rich in cytokines (Concentrated Autologous Conditioned Serum). The plasmatic water is eliminated, and the cytokines released from cells are concentrated.
Within the interleukin family, IL-1 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine released by immune cells during the early phases of inflammation. Its action can be regulated by IL-1Ra (interleukin-1 receptor antagonist), a naturally occurring cytokine released by monocytes. IL-1Ra binds to the IL-1 receptor, inhibiting the interaction between the receptor and the agonist, thereby preventing IL-1 intracellular signalling. IL-1Ra blocks the pro-inflammatory stimulus and promotes tissue regeneration.
Concentrated Autologous Conditioned Serum
The combination of these two technologies allows the production of an enriched conditioned serum (Concentrated Autologous Conditioned Serum) without the need for incubation. Resulting in a substantial quantity of anti-inflammatory cytokines suitable for a single treatment.
Injectable Concentrated Conditioned Serum (iCCS) is cell-free and abundant in anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. This treatment provides anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, cartilage-protecting effects, as well as anti-aging benefits.
Physicians can process 30 ml of blood and wait just 30 minutes for activation. Then obtain 15 ml of Injectable Concentrated Conditioned Serum with high concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines in a single 10-minute spin (2700 rgf). Afterwards, physicians can further process all serum components with ProtSmart 2 to achieve 5 ml of hyper-concentrated conditioned serum, enriched with proteins, growth factors, IL-1Ra, IL-4, and IL-10.
This process takes only a few minutes to be ready for direct injection into patients.
