Advancells Treatment for Spinal Cord InjuriesStep 1

Bone Marrow CollectionStep 2

Laboratory ProcessingStep 3

Stem Cell Implantation

• The collection of bone marrow is done from the hip bone (iliac crest) of the patient by using a thin needle to mini-puncture the skin under local

anesthesia.

• The stem cells from the collected bone marrow are evaluated to measure their strength and vitality in our

government-approved (cGMP),ultramodern laboratory.

• Through the process of intrathecal administration or Lumbar puncture, the stem cells

are implanted onto the patient’s body.
