Book OnlineWhat Is Nano PRP Jelly?
Nano PRP Jelly is a next-generation treatment designed to address the key limitations of traditional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP has long been used for everything from cosmetic wrinkle treatment to cartilage-based joint defects, and while it is generally considered safe, its effectiveness has always been limited, and until now, steroids were the main alternative.
Nano PRP Jelly is based on Wharton’s Jelly, a collagen-based mesenchymal connective tissue, making it practically painless to administer. It can be used virtually anywhere PRP has been used, delivered through a standard 25g to 32g needle. In the foot and ankle, it may be considered for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and other sources of chronic heel pain and foot pain.
Advantages of Nano PRP Jelly Over Traditional PRP
- Less pain: traditional PRP injections are often painful, while Nano PRP Jelly derived from Wharton’s Jelly is practically painless by comparison
- Less inflammation: areas such as joints and discs are not normally exposed to blood, so injected PRP can act as a foreign body and trigger significant inflammation; Nano PRP Jelly avoids this response
- Greater versatility: it can be administered practically anywhere PRP has been used, through any 25g to 32g needle
What Is Wharton’s Jelly and Why Is It Used?
Wharton’s Jelly is a connective tissue found in the umbilical cord. It is primarily composed of mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular matrix components, including collagen, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and sulfated proteoglycans. It has the highest concentration of mesenchymal stem cells per milliliter compared with other matrix-rich tissues, and it contains clinically significant growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles.
Its abundant extracellular matrix, including collagen types I, III, and V, elastin, and fibronectin, serves as a natural scaffold that supports cellular adhesion. It also provides cushioning, structural support, and a natural source of long-chain hyaluronic acid. Placental tissues like Wharton’s Jelly are considered “immune privileged,” meaning they have a low likelihood of triggering an immune response, which makes Nano PRP Jelly a well-tolerated option for most patients.
Cost and Recovery
The cost of Nano PRP Jelly is $650 (cash pay). Following the injection, patients are placed in a walking boot for two weeks as part of the recovery protocol.
