Platelet Rich & Platelet Poor Plasma (PRP & PPP)
Platelets, or thrombocytes, play a fundamental role in hemostasis and are a natural source of growth factors. These growth factors have been shown to play a significant role in repair and regeneration of several types of tissue. The concentration and application of platelets and other naturally occurring biological blood components have a wide range of benefits including surgical procedures, chronic ulcers, burn patients, and other soft tissue ailments.
Concentration from whole blood produces two beneficial biological components – Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP). These concentrates have been shown to provide many clinical benefits including:
- Minimized risk of contamination (autologous)
- Quicker and more effective soft tissue wound healing
- Reduction of post-surgical inflammation and hematoma formation
- Reduction in post-surgical pain
- Surgical hemostasis / tissue sealing
- Reduction of post-operative infection
- Quicker post-surgical bone healing
Platelet concentration therapy can benefit a broad array of procedures including:
- Cardiothoracic Surgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Surgery
- ENT Surgery
- General Surgery
- Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
- Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Chronic Wound
- Veterinary Medicine
