Advancing Equine Care with Pegasus Orthobiologics

Pegasus Orthobiologics delivers the only equine PRP that is standardized and customized for each horse's biology to support safe, precise, and data-driven treatment

The Pegasus Difference

Replacing Uncertainty With Clarity and Precision

Pegasus Orthobiologics is redefining equine regenerative medicine by taking the guesswork out of orthobiologics and replacing it with transparency and precision.

Historically, corticosteroid injections have been used to manage equine lameness. Steroids, however, only mask pain without addressing joint degeneration, creating a false sense of recovery that can lead to overuse, impaired healing, and accelerated damage. Biologics such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) emerged as a safer alternative, designed to work with the body’s natural healing processes rather than conceal injury.

Although PRP holds great promise, it has delivered inconsistent results. Because blood cell counts change throughout the day, and because every horse’s biology is different, the PRP produced with a commercial kit can vary widely. In fact, the same kit, used on two horses, or even the same horse at different times, may yield very different results, and, in some cases, may not even produce PRP at all.

‍

Pegasus changes this. We use a state-of-the-art hematology analyzer to measure every component of the PRP. By knowing each patient’s exact cell counts, we can:

Standardize: Guarantee a therapeutic platelet dose with consistently low red and white cell levels.

Customize: Tailor the PRP to the unique biology of each horse and the tissue or joint being treated.

Advance Research: Collect patient data (age, history, platelet recovery, and more) to refine our methods and drive forward equine regenerative medicine.

Our goal is to transform what has long been a hit-or-miss therapy into one that is consistent, measurable, and reliable.‍

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is an orthobiologic treatment that leverages the natural healing properties of your horse's blood to promote recovery and reduce inflammation. By concentrating growth factors such as TGF-β, PDGF, EGF, VEGF, and FGF, PRP initiates and accelerates the healing process. These growth factors attract stem cells, stimulate connective tissue growth, and promote the formation of new blood vessels, which deliver vital nutrients and oxygen to the injury site. Unlike conventional PRP kits, Pegasus PRP has a standardized platelet dose based on the joint or tissue being treated and contains minimal red and white blood cells, enhancing both the safety and efficacy of the treatment. Using a state-of-the-art analyzer, we verify the PRP's composition before returning it to veterinarians for injection. Our PRP product stands out by allowing for the optional quantification of key cytokines––IL-1Ra, IL-10, TNF-a, and TGF-β1––ensuring that anti-inflammatory factors are present in optimal concentrations to maximize therapeutic outcomes. In addition to delivering you 20 mL of PRP, we also provide you with 40mL of PPP, which contain a significant amount of anti-inflammatory modulators like IRAP and A2M and can be used for the local treatment of joints, tendons, and muscles. PRP and PPP syringes can be frozen and used at a later time, offering flexibility in treatment planning.

Autologous-Conditioned Serum (ACS)

ACS is an orthobiologic therapy designed to enhance healing. Rich in cytokines and growth factors—including IL-1Ra, IL-10, IL-4, and TGF-β—our ACS product works to mediate inflammation and support tissue repair, providing a potent, natural alternative to conventional anti-inflammatory treatments. Pegasus takes ACS therapy a step further by offering optional cytokine quantification, ensuring that veterinarians receive precise measurements of key therapeutic factors. Similar to our PRP, our ACS can be frozen and used at a later time.

Collection and Delivery

Pegasus Orthobiologics offers a fully managed PRP service, saving veterinarians valuable time and resources by handling every step of the process—from collection to delivery. Our skilled technicians are dispatched directly to the client, collecting blood samples and transporting them promptly to our lab, where they undergo meticulous processing for optimal quality. The finished PRP product is then delivered precisely when and where the veterinarian needs it, allowing for efficient, on-demand treatment with minimal disruption to their busy schedule. By eliminating the need for additional staff, training, and equipment on-site, Pegasus empowers veterinarians to provide high-quality PRP without compromising their time or budget. This streamlined, reliable service allows veterinarians to focus on patient care while ensuring consistent, top-tier results for their clients.
