HOW IS THE APPLICATION PERFORMED?

All stages of the Magellan cellular therapy method can be easily applied under office conditions. For this, 54 mL of blood sample is taken from the arm of our patient first. A separate sterile system is available for each patient in the Magellan TruPRP kit. A total of 60 mL of blood product, 54 mL of blood and 6 mL of citrate liquid, is collected into the syringe with the help of the apparatus included in this kit. Blood and other sterile apparatus are placed inside the Magellan device. At this point, it can be decided from the beginning how much mL (6 to 10 mL) concentrate is desired to be obtained depending on the region to be applied. And, the system is started automatically by pressing the button. All the blood in the syringe is drawn into the device first, the optical system scans the blood and begins to separate the cells. This separation procedure continues for a total of 17-18 minutes, and the part containing red blood cells that we will not use in the treatment is delivered to the same syringe again, while the concentrate containing mononuclear cells, hematopoietic stem cells and platelets is delivered to the other small syringe.

While the Magellan device separates the patient's blood, a cream containing local anesthetic as the active ingredient is applied to the penile skin of the patient so that he does not feel the pain of the needle. Then, 10 mL of concentrate taken from the Magellan device is divided into 4 equal parts among different syringes. Meanwhile, the penis and the entire genital area are cleaned with antiseptic solutions, and the area is closed with a sterile perforated drape, leaving the penis out. These concentrates are injected intracavernosally from 4 different points to the right and left of the penis with the help of a very fine needle. The whole procedure takes 30-40 minutes from start to finish. Since the injected content is obtained from the person's own blood, it is not considered as a drug; therefore, it does not have any side effects profile. After the procedure, the patients stand up immediately and continue their daily lives exactly where they left off. If the patient wishes, he can engage in sexual activity 8 hours after Magellan cellular therapy.

Magellan cellular therapy generally shows its effectiveness immediately, but the effect becomes evident and is noticed by the patient over a period of 3 weeks. In general, the expected positive effects are increased erection quality, prolonged erection time and increased sensitivity of the penis. If desired, clinical improvement can be documented in the form of symptom scoring and, objectively, arterial pressure increase by penile doppler ultrasonography.
