12/18/19 • 32 min

In this episode, our host Dr. Trevor Turner, RMSK interviews Dr. David Karli (https://www.linkedin.com/company/dckarli/about/), a physician board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation who practices at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, CO. They discuss his experience founding Greyledge Technologies to optimize the best practices of quality assurance for physicians that practice regenerative medicine and Orthobiologics (https://www.greyledgebiotech.com/).
In this episode, we discuss the reasons behind why the science of Orthobiologics truly requires a dedicated laboratory that can quantify and measure what goes into a preparation of PRP or BMAC in order to treat patients with the best product tailored to their disease. We also include a discussion of what things can and should be measured at the point of care so that outcomes data can be used over time to push the field into the future and to ultimately deliver patients the highest standard of care.
