As part of our interventional spine treatments, Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians is proud to offer PalinGen SportFlow cryopreserved amniotic fluid, a pathway to cutting-edge medicine. PalinGen SportFlow is a human placental derived allograft rich with the basic components that help heal injured tissue, while preventing inflammation and scarring. Tissue regeneration and pain relief is helped by the full range of growth factors, HA, cytokines, cells, collagen substrates, fibroblasts, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and enzymes present. These components work together at the site of injury so new cells can form and the injured tissue can be repaired, remodeled and rebuilt back to its normal state. SportFlow has potent, natural, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and antimicrobial properties. Dr. Armin V. Oskouei and the team from Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians are pleased to offer this advanced treatment to patients throughout the United States.

As the amnion (innermost layer of the placenta) protects the fetus during development, PalinGen SportFlow provides the same to injured or traumatized tissue. The chorion is removed to reduce the risk of graft host reaction. PalinGen SportFlow is obtained from healthy donors who have volunteered to donate their amniotic fluid after undergoing elective, healthy Caesarian delivery. Each donor has submitted their past medical history, social history and serologies for medical director review. The donated tissue is collected aseptically, then tested at the time of collection to ensure viability and safety, then again before processing and cleansing, then again after preparation and once again a percentage of units per USP standard are selected for testing. PalinGen SportFlow is processed to the highest standards in a state-of-the-art AATB accredited and FDA regulated facility.
