Natural healing process occurs through scar tissue formation. Scar tissue is strong, but stiff and inflexible and cannot withstand stress the way a normal tendon can. Consequently, it can be easily damaged again.
In TendoStem® treatment, stem cells grown from the horse's own fat tissue differentiate into normal tendon or ligament tissue that is flexible and durable with minimal scar tissue formation that is less prone for new injuries than scarred tendon.
