The Ministry of Health and Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) have granted market authorisation for Regenerative Medical Services Regrow’s Chondron, Indias first cell therapy product that is indicated for treatment of cartilage defects of the joints.

Chondron uses the body’s own autologous cartilage cells which are cultured and multiplied for 3-4 weeks at Regrows Cell Processing Centre. The cultured cells are then implanted into the patient’s damaged joint leading to new cartilage regeneration, avoiding the need of early joint replacement.

We are immensely happy with the FDA approval for Chondron ACI. We are the first in the country and fourth in the world to achieve this FDA approval,” said Chief utive Officer and Managing Director of RMS Regrow Yash Sanghavi.

Patients can now expect a care free future with this treatment and RMS Regrow offers a perfect PEN solution (P-Permanent, E-Easy, N-Natural biological) to the patients, he added.

The advantages associated with Chondron ACI include regeneration of cartilage instead of replacing the entire knee; · minimally invasive personalised treatment; increased quality of life; resumption of complete physical activity, including of professional sports; cost effectiveness; and joint preservation providing long term relief.
