Suppose you want to improve your practice and offer sought-after medical therapies. Many forward-thinking practices are providing a variety of strategic cash-pay procedures in their office. These procedures are in high demand and are not typically covered by insurance. From Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments to hormone replacement therapy, these top procedures offer patients a diverse…

In the world of orthobiologics, there’s a fascinating and complex interaction between different types of cells that significantly impact the effectiveness of therapies like Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a common treatment that promotes healing in tissues like cartilage and bone. However, not all PRP is created equal, and the presence of specific white blood cells, called…

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, also known as PRP, have garnered significant attention for their remarkable results. PRP is derived from your body and uses natural healing mechanisms to alleviate joint pain, treat tendon injuries, and accelerate recovery. PRP uses a patient’s platelets by stimulating the body’s natural healing process and treats injured or diseased parts of…

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…
