The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick

Professor Noel Fitzpatrick combines biology and technology, infusing unique implants with stem cells to grow bone and cartilage in two ground-breaking operations. Sarah brings in her energetic seven-month-old Italian Spinone, Flo, to see Noel after scans reveal she has a hole in her shoulder bone. With regenerative medicine opening up new options, Noel offers Sarah a custom made implant to plug the hole in Flo's bone. Lisa's seven-year-old Border collie Izzy has been left with a broken leg after being hit by a car five months ago. A failed operation has left her in constant pain and limited options. Lisa is reluctant to amputate, so Noel proposes a brand new treatment never tried before that combines advances in biology and technology to bridge the gap in Izzy's bone and save her leg.
