Human Tissue Allograft (HTA) Q & A

What is human tissue allograft (HTA)?

HTA products are derived from amniotic tissue and fluid that comes from the innermost layer of the placenta. The human placenta has the highest numbers of growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes the substances that stimulate the body’s natural healing process. 

At Genesis Pain and Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Enty uses Celera™ HTA products, which have a proven history of excellent results.

What conditions do human tissue allograft products treat?

HTA products can treat a wide array of injuries and conditions, including:

  • Recurrent sprains like ankle sprains
  • Cartilage injuries like meniscus tears
  • Ligament injuries like an ACL, LCL, or MCL tear in the knee
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Finger joint pain
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Joint instability
  • Nonhealiing bone fractures (nonunion fractures)
  • Osteonecrosis (bone cell death)
  • Pain due to neck and back injuries
  • Pain due to congenital deformities

HTA products can also help you heal in other situations. Dr. Enty can explain the products and how they can work for you.

How do human tissue allograft products work?

HTA products come in a variety of applications, including injectable liquids, for use in joints and other areas. The products have remarkable effects, including:

  • Fighting germs and infections in and around the wound
  • Reducing inflammation around the wound
  • Promoting cellular renewal (new tissue growth)
  • Promoting new collagen growth (your skin’s support network)
  • Preventing scar tissue
  • Encouraging faster healing
  • Reducing pain

In some cases, particularly in patients 60 and older, Dr. Enty may recommend a combination of HTA and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The body gradually loses its regenerative powers with age, but this combination treatment can work around that limitation to facilitate healing.

Are human tissue allograft treatments safe?

HTA treatments are safe, reliable, and closely monitored. Celera products come from full-term births. According to stringent FDA standards, mothers fully consent to this donation and are extensively screened for communicable diseases.

Donated tissue goes through a validated decellularization process that extracts and preserves the powerful growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes. You’re not using cells from another person; the biological substances simply signal your body’s cells to work far more efficiently.

Human tissue allografts are an extraordinary approach that uses the latest advances to create maximum results. To learn more about how HTA can help you, call Genesis Pain and Regenerative Medicine or click on the online scheduling tool now.
