The science behind AMT®

The mechanism is the product story.

Mytocel MSK® uses gentle mechanical disaggregation to prepare micrografts from auricular cartilage. The supplied material describes a heterogeneous, tissue-specific suspension containing cartilage-derived cellular and extracellular-matrix components.

Autologous micrografting technology

From a tissue-specific sample to a point-of-care suspension.

  1. 01

    Cartilage origin

    A small sample is collected from the patient’s auricular cartilage according to the professional protocol.

  2. 02

    Tissue-specific components

    The sample retains cartilage-derived cells and extracellular-matrix components from the donor tissue.

  3. 03

    Mechanical disaggregation

    Rigenera technology mechanically prepares micrografts with a documented 80 μm cut-off without laboratory expansion.

  4. 04

    Point-of-care suspension

    The resulting autologous micrograft suspension is collected for administration within the same clinical pathway.

This visual summary is an orientation to the supplied professional material. It does not replace the protocol or establish comparative clinical effectiveness.

The system

Two core devices. One documented workflow.

01

Rigeneracons® RS

Sterile, single-use device designed to mechanically disaggregate the cartilage sample while preserving micrograft viability.

02

N4SA Machine 2.0

Electromechanical unit that provides the calibrated rotational impulse used in the documented processing stage.

03

Clinical setup

A sterile field, defined consumables and appropriate professional training complete the point-of-care setup.

The professional protocol

Four stages. One point-of-care pathway.

Technique, equipment, patient selection and sterile procedure details belong in the controlled protocol and formal product training. This sequence shows the relationship between the stages.

  1. 01

    Preparation & anaesthesia

    Prepare the auricular donor area, establish a sterile field and administer local anaesthesia according to the professional protocol.

  2. 02

    Cartilage extraction

    Obtain three small samples from the auricular cartilage using the documented punch technique.

  3. 03

    Disaggregation & collection

    Process the sample in Rigeneracons® RS and collect the prepared autologous micrograft suspension.

  4. 04

    Infiltration

    Administer the suspension to the target joint within the same point-of-care clinical pathway.

Publications in the supplied scientific booklet

Make the evidence visible before asking someone to download it.

The supplied library spans biological rationale, pre-clinical work and clinical reports. The clinical records are small and largely uncontrolled, so study design and limitations remain part of the presentation.

Featured record · Study 05

Three-year follow-up in knee chondropathy.

The Marcarelli case series followed eight patients and reported clinical scores alongside standardised MRI measurements. The long follow-up is useful context; the very small uncontrolled design does not support broad comparative claims.

Questions before adoption

The practical questions a clinical team should ask.

Open the complete HCP FAQ
What is Mytocel MSK?+

Mytocel MSK is a point-of-care autologous micrografting procedure. A small sample of auricular cartilage is mechanically disaggregated using Rigenera® technology to create a tissue-specific micrograft suspension for administration to the target joint.

What is the AMT® solution?+

AMT® refers to the autologous micrograft suspension produced by the documented mechanical-disaggregation process. The supplied professional material describes cartilage-derived cells and extracellular-matrix components within micrografts prepared using an 80 μm cut-off.

Which patients are covered by the supplied professional material?+

The professional protocol focuses on mild to moderate osteoarthritis up to grade III. Patient selection, contraindications and any use outside that scope must follow the current controlled documentation and clinical judgement.

What does a clinic need in addition to the Mytocel components?+

The HCP material lists sterile drapes and gloves, antiseptic, local anaesthetic, saline, syringes, needles, a 2.5 mm dermal punch, sterile forceps and dressing materials. Use the current quick guide and protocol for the complete list.

What evidence is available?+

The supplied scientific booklet contains nine publications spanning scientific rationale, pre-clinical work and small clinical cohorts. The clinical reports provide useful signals but are not comparative proof; design, sample size and limitations should remain visible when interpreting outcomes.

Buying and supply questions
