ProMatrix Intervention
"We Are Not Selling a Shot. We Are Selling a Biological Construction Site."
Traditional regenerative medicine often fails because it provides a "message" without a "medium." At Old Mission Lifestyle Medicine, we utilize ProMatrix—a micronized, dehydrated amniotic allograft—to provide the physical architecture and the chemical momentum required for true autologous repair.
The Physical Grid:
The 3D Scaffold
Most patients are told they are "bone-on-bone." In reality, the joint has lost its structural "rebar." ProMatrix is engineered to replace that architecture.
Unlike signaling-only products (like PRP or Exosomes) that dissipate within hours, ProMatrix provides a robust, shelf-stable 3D Structural Scaffold. This is the physical "Lumber and Steel" of the construction site.
Types I & III Collagen
The primary structural proteins that provide tensile strength and "rebound" to the joint.
Type IV Collagen
The foundational basement membrane that supports cellular attachment.
Types V & VI Collagen
Essential for the structural "tethering" of new tissue, ensuring the repair stays localized.
The Expert Crew
1. PDGF-BB (The General Contractor)
Triggers rapid multiplication of mesenchymal cells and signals them to move into the scaffold.
2. TGF-β1 (The Specialist)
The primary driver for the production of new extracellular matrix and the maturation of repair cells.
3. VEGF (The Supply Line)
Triggers angiogenesis—the growth of new micro-vessels—to bring oxygen and nutrients.
The Signaling Team:
Polypeptides
A construction site needs more than just lumber; it needs an expert crew with a blueprint. ProMatrix is packed with high concentrations of Polypeptide Growth Factors that provide the "Anabolic Momentum" for repair.
The Fire Extinguisher:
IL-1Ra Protection
You cannot build a new structure while the site is on fire. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a "metabolic fire" driven by inflammatory proteins.
ProMatrix is naturally rich in IL-1Ra (Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist). We call this the biological "Fire Extinguisher."
How it Works
IL-1Ra binds to the same receptors as the destructive proteins that cause pain and cartilage decay. By "plugging" these receptors, IL-1Ra shuts off the inflammatory fire.
This creates a quiet, anabolic environment where the collagen scaffold can actually take hold and begin the repair process.
Visual Certainty
Clarius L7 HD3 Standard
We believe that if you aren't looking, you're guessing. Every ProMatrix intervention is performed under 100% real-time guidance using the Clarius L7 HD3 High-Definition Ultrasound.
Visualize the Needle Tip: Track the needle with sub-millimeter precision.
Verify Delivery: See the ProMatrix biologic expand within the targeted tissue.
Zero Guesswork: If there is no high-definition video of the joint line, the injection did not happen.
Logistics
Shelf-Stable Safety
Traditional "live" stem cell products are fragile. They rely on dry ice and "cryo-tanks" that can fail during shipping. ProMatrix is Micronized and Dehydrated, making it Shelf-Stable.
Viability: 100% of the collagen and growth factor potency is preserved.
Sterility: Processed to the highest FDA-cleared standards.
