OralVive® a breakthrough Hyaluronic Acid in Poloxamer gel applied topically to teeth & gums supporting oral tissue and bone regeneration in animals. 

Comments Off on OralVive® a breakthrough Hyaluronic Acid in Poloxamer gel applied topically to teeth & gums supporting oral tissue and bone regeneration in animals. 

Hyaluronic acid “sticks” to soft tissue because, as a powerful humectant, it attracts and binds water to itself and the skin’s cells, locking in moisture to hydrate, plump, and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. This ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water makes it an excellent hydrator.

 

CANINE STUDIES DEMONSTRATE STATISTICAL IMPROVEMENT ACROSS A RANGE OF ENDPOINTS – AFTER JUST A SINGLE APPLICATION of HA.

 

 

 

Decreased

  • Gingival recession
  • Probing pocket depth
  • Epithelial down growth
  • Pain post periodontal therapy and tooth extraction
  • Bleeding on probing

Increased

  • Bone formation
  • Cementum formation
  • Connective tissue attachment
  • Ligament attachment
  • Pocket filling post extraction
  • Rate of wound healing

 

OralVive® is applied using a 3ml luer lock syringe and tip topically as a gel directly to the gums and oral mucosa or applied subgingivally and into periodontal pockets and alveolar sockets.

Regenerative Therapy Without Compromise

Comments Off on Regenerative Therapy Without Compromise

Modern veterinary practices are increasingly adopting regenerative therapies that not only relieve pain but actively support the body’s natural healing processes.

Technologies such as laser therapy and shockwave are changing the way practices approach musculoskeletal injuries, osteoarthritis, rehabilitation, post-operative recovery and wound management.

Multi Radiance has developed an integrated range of evidence-based regenerative therapy solutions that enable veterinarians to deliver effective, non-invasive treatments backed by extensive clinical research. From advanced laser systems and focused shockwave technology to convenient take-home therapy options, these innovative tools are helping practices improve patient outcomes.

As veterinary medicine continues to embrace evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical treatment options, regenerative therapies are becoming an increasingly valuable part of everyday clinical practice. Whether managing chronic osteoarthritis, accelerating post-operative recovery or treating challenging soft tissue injuries, today’s veterinarians are looking for technologies that deliver measurable clinical outcomes while enhancing patient comfort.

 

Multi Radiance has established itself as a global leader in regenerative therapy by offering an integrated range of advanced treatment systems designed to reduce pain, stimulate healing and improve recovery across a wide variety of companion animal and equine patients.

 

Unlike many manufacturers that focus on a single therapy modality, Multi Radiance provides a comprehensive treatment platform that combines advanced photobiomodulation (laser therapy) with focused acoustic compression therapy (shockwave), allowing clinicians to select the most appropriate treatment for each patient and condition.

 

The company’s proven laser therapy systems utilise Super Pulsed Laser technology to deliver therapeutic energy deep into damaged tissue without generating excessive heat. By stimulating cellular activity, increasing circulation and reducing inflammation, photobiomodulation can assist in the management of osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, neurological conditions, post-operative recovery, wound healing and rehabilitation. With over 50 published studies supporting its technology, Multi Radiance remains one of the most clinically researched therapeutic laser manufacturers in veterinary medicine.

 

 

The flagship ACTIVet PRO Series provides versatile treatment options for both routine and advanced cases, including the innovative LaserShower, which enables rapid treatment of larger muscle groups, extensive wounds and larger patients. Complementing this is the AlphaVet Class IV laser, designed to provide rapid analgesia and prepare tissues for subsequent regenerative therapy.

 

For practices seeking to further expand their rehabilitation capabilities, the MPACT ShockWave system introduces another powerful treatment option. Using focused acoustic compression technology, MPACT delivers mechanical stimulation that complements laser therapy by promoting tissue regeneration, improving blood flow and encouraging healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave therapy has become increasingly recognised for treating chronic tendinopathies, ligament injuries, trigger points, muscle strains and osteoarthritis, particularly in cases where long-standing pathology requires additional stimulation to restart the healing process.

 

Because laser therapy and shockwave act through different biological mechanisms, they can be used independently or together, providing veterinarians with a comprehensive, multimodal approach to pain management and rehabilitation. Many practices find that combining these therapies produces excellent clinical outcomes while reducing reliance on long-term pharmaceutical management.

Multi Radiance also recognises that successful treatment extends beyond the consultation room. Through the My Pet Laser 2.0, veterinarians can prescribe take-home laser therapy, allowing owners to continue treatment between visits. This improves patient compliance, supports ongoing recovery and creates an additional revenue stream while strengthening client engagement.

 

Introducing regenerative therapies into practice has never been easier. Multi Radiance systems feature intuitive operation, built-in treatment protocols and comprehensive clinical training, enabling veterinarians and veterinary nurses to confidently integrate these technologies into their daily workflow.

Whether your practice is looking to enhance rehabilitation services, improve orthopaedic outcomes, expand pain management options or introduce advanced regenerative medicine, the Multi Radiance portfolio offers a complete solution backed by clinical evidence, education and ongoing support.
