Tropocells® PRP Preparation System: Key Features and Study Insights Discover the Tropocells® PRP Advantage The Tropocells® PRP preparation system is designed to help clinicians prepare platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using a consistent, point-of-care workflow. In addition, published research—including the Kushida study—has evaluated platelet concentration, growth factor levels, and cellular composition across multiple PRP systems. Below is…

Introduction to PRP in Podiatry Podiatrists treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Many of these conditions involve tissue stress, overuse, or chronic degeneration. As a result, interest in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation continues to grow in podiatry. In particular, clinicians are exploring PRP as part of broader regenerative medicine research in orthopedic…

Introduction: PRP and Hyaluronic Acid in Joint Care Musculoskeletal medicine continues to evolve. As a result, physicians are exploring both biologic and injectable approaches for joint care. Two areas of growing interest include: • platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation• hyaluronic acid injections In many cases, clinicians study these approaches separately. However, some physicians now evaluate how…

Introduction: PRP and Athlete Recovery College athletes face high physical demands. As a result, injuries are common during training and competition. Because of this, athletic trainers and physicians continue to explore new approaches to recovery. One area of growing interest is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation. PRP is prepared from an athlete’s own blood. Therefore, it…

Introduction: PRP in Knee Osteoarthritis Research Interest in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation continues to grow in musculoskeletal medicine. In particular, researchers are studying PRP preparation systems in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Recently, investigators at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome, Italy, published research evaluating a neutrophil-depleted PRP preparation. This study adds to the…

Introduction: Why PRP Preparation Quality Matters In orthobiologics, platelet-rich plasma preparation continues to grow in use. However, not all PRP is the same. In fact, the way a PRP preparation system separates cells can directly affect PRP composition. One key factor is the presence of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. While neutrophils support…
