What is IRAP treatment for horses?

IRAP, which stands for Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein, is an anti-inflammatory treatment for joint disease in horses that works by counteracting the pro-inflammatory cascade triggered by the protein interleukin-1.

How long does it take for Irap to work?

The process of producing IRAP for use in horses takes about 24 hours.

What is the difference between Irap and PRP?

The PRP increases the effectiveness and efficiency of the growth factors speeding up the healing process. IRAP is an effective intra-articular treatment for joint disease.

How do I use Irap?

Irap® technique involves the retrieval of 50ml of the horse’s own blood using a special collecting syringe containing glass beads. During a 24-hour incubation period, the blood mixes with the beads, then is spun in a centrifuge at our laboratory to separate serum from red blood cells.

How long is recovery after PRP injection?

Most patients begin to experience relief within three to four weeks following an injection. The pain tends to improve over the next three to six months. However, it is important to note that all patients heal differently, and some areas may respond faster to PRP injections than others.

What is stem cell therapy in horses?

The basic concept is to use materials that come directly from the horse’s own body as therapeutic tools. Once the material (blood or stem cells) is collected and modified in some fashion, it is then injected directly back into the horse at the site of a damaged tendon/ligament or joint to help facilitate healing.

What is pro stride?

Pro-Stride is a newer product that combines IRAP and PRP. PRP (platelet rich plasma) is another blood derived product that concentrates growth factors helping fight inflammation and promote healing. Pro-Stride offers the advantages of a 20 minute processing time as opposed to 24 hours with IRAP.
