Platelets are the part of the blood which helps clot wounds. Extracted from the patient’s own blood, Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP), are concentrated platelets with higher growth factor content. This means it causes cells to divide more rapidly and speeds up the healing process.
PRP promotes collagen and bone formation, which helps with tissue regeneration. Aside from speeding up the healing process, it also reduces scarring and pain, as well as the risk of re-injury.
These are all great reasons to use PRP to treat tendon injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries.
The use of Platelet-Rich Plasma can treat a variety of orthopedic conditions including:
PRP is obtained by drawing the patient’s blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red blood cells and other cell components. After being concentrated, the PRP is then injected into the injured area of the patient’s body for therapeutic purposes.
Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated source of platelets and growth factors, which stimulate the body to heal itself. The healing mechanisms in the body are activated to help repair the body’s tissues by using platelets and the plasma-derived growth factors.
