Lipocast Biotech
UK Ltd
From premises at Cirencester Park, near the world-famous polo ground, Lipocast Biotech UK is helping horses and ponies recover from injuries using a treatment adopted from human medicine.
The Lipogems system transfers fat tissue from the horse’s tail head to a damaged part of the animal’s body in a single step, triggering the body’s own damage response mechanism. Because there is no need for laboratory culturing, transplanting can take place within 20 to 30 minutes of harvesting.
The system can treat tendon injuries, inflammation of ligaments, soft tissue damage, and early osteoarthritis. As well as supplying the Lipogems system, Lipocast Biotech UK also trains the vets to deliver it.
Because the process is relatively simple, horses can be treated at home rather than being sent to a veterinary hospital.
