Pro-Stride® Autologous Protein Solution (APS) is a device that helps manage equine lameness and osteoarthritis in horses by concentrating the cells, platelets, growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines from a horse’s own blood.
IRAP (Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist protein) is a natural anti-inflammatory protein released by leukocytes at the site of injury. This protein is collected from blood by processing the leukocytes using a proprietary method. IRAP counteracts inflammation by blocking the inflammatory protein interleukin-1 within joints.
The protein separator used with the protein concentrator collects white blood cells and uses a proprietary method to reprogram the cells to be anti-inflammatory, secreting IRAP. Collection and activation of macrophages suppresses joint inflammation and regenerates cartilage in early stage osteoarthritic joints (canine and equine studies have clearly demonstrated efficacy).
