Degenerative joint disease is not only a cartilage problem — it is a disruption of the entire joint microenvironment. Autologous micrografting offers a biological approach to restoring that balance.
Mytocel MSK uses Autologous Micrografting Technology (AMT®) to convert a small auricular cartilage sample into a tissue-specific suspension ready to inject.
Prepared during the same clinical session, Mytocel MSK delivers biologically active components directly to the target joint.
The micrograft suspension contains all the components from the "diamond of regeneration" - Creating a unique regenerative micro-environment within the affected Osteoarthritis joint.

Infiltration
The biologically active suspension is injected directly into the target joint.Derived entirely from the patient's own cartilage — zero risk of rejection or immune response.
Only a small biopsy taken from the ear. No surgical incision. No general anesthesia required.
Patients can resume normal daily activity shortly after the procedure with minimal restrictions.
The entire procedure fits comfortably within a standard clinical consultation session.
One treatment is typically sufficient for mild to moderate OA — no multi-session protocols.
Clinically validated for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, with evidence supporting outcomes Osteoarthritis grades.

Voices from leading orthopaedic surgeons and researchers who have worked with Mytocel MSK.
Degenerative joint disease is not only a cartilage problem — it is a disruption of the entire joint microenvironment. Autologous micrografting offers a biological approach to restoring that balance.
One of the most interesting aspects of autologous micrografting is the ability to obtain biologically active tissue directly at the point of care within the same clinical session.
Autologous micrografting can be prepared during the same clinical session to deliver biologically active components directly to the target joint, supporting regeneration and pain management.
