From Extraction to Injection The final step is to gently agitate the collection tube so that the platelets get thoroughly resuspended into the plasma. Once collected with a syringe, the physician injects the PRP. The patient’s own platelets then release growth factors at the site of the injury and initiate the healing cascade. Stay tuned…

From Extraction to Injection After the process of centrifugation, the blood components are quickly separated based on their relative densities. Red blood cells and inflammatory white cells are intentionally trapped beneath the separator gel of the collection tube. The majority of the platelets in the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are now located on top of the…

From Extraction to Injection After blood is drawn, it is placed in a centrifuge that separates fluids of different densities through centrifugal force. This process results in the blood separating into three distinct layers. During Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) centrifugation, the blood separates into: 1 – Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) at the top 2 – A buffy…

From Extraction to Injection Orthopedic treatments have been revolutionized by advancements in orthobiologics, one of the most promising being Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). This method harnesses the body’s innate healing capabilities to address various musculoskeletal conditions. But how exactly does a platelet move from its natural environment within our circulatory system to become a crucial part…
