Platelet Rich Plasma

PLATELET RICH PLASMA

Platelet Rich Plasma ( PRP ) is a concentrate of platelets , white blood cells , and / or platelet poor plasma containing matrix proteins associated growth factors . PRP is generated through processing 30-60 mL of the patient ' s blood . Prior to use , it is activated by the addition of thrombin and / or calcium chloride . Activated platelets release growth factors up to 14X the baseline concentration , such as TGF-β1 , PDGF , VEGF , bFGF , IGF-1 , EGF , and HGF — thought to contribute to the potential benefits of PRP . This process only takes about 20 minutes . The product can be used at any time in the operating room or clinical procedure area .

BENEFITS
