That is the Synvisc.

I am hip to the PRP Noah. You guys harvest it below the knee, we get it out of the calcaneus, the platelet derived stuff is a different flavor soup, but as you say, similar to stem cells.

We have been using grafts derived from placenta for a bit now, can get insurance to spring for it if the right ICD 10 boxes are checked. I seem to recall reading a paper on this sort of product being used in arthritic joints.
