Description

A team of researchers at The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland have developed a new organic material that harnesses the body's own regenerative power to repair damaged bones and cartilage. Visit the training ground of a horse treated with HydroxyColl to see first-hand how this treatment could transform the racing industry by reducing the need for horses to be put down.
