Platelet Rich Plasma / PRP – How Regenexx Offers a More Concentrated and Pure Form of PRP.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Lysate are Platelet procedures that contain healing growth factors from your own blood that promote your body’s natural ability to repair itself. The use of PRP to treat joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries is becoming well known, thanks to exposure from professional athletes. Platelet injections have a stimulating effect on the repair cells within the targeted area, making those cells work harder to perform their natural job of healing the body. Like all procedures using Regenexx injectates, this procedure is performed with high-level image guidance to ensure the most accurate placements of cells into the desired area. Procedures using Regenexx SCP injectate are more concentrated and purer than PRP created by the typical machines used at most regenerative medicine clinics. This increases its ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Platelet procedures are commonly used for soft tissue injuries, mild arthritis, spine conditions, and around nerves.
How Does Regenexx Create a Better Platelet Rich Plasma in a Lab?
Most physicians who provide PRP treatments don’t go above and beyond the limitations of a simple automated machine. In our clinical experience, Regenexx lab processing in each of our doctor’s medical practices can accomplish much more than a bedside centrifuge, allowing for customized processing to best address the patient’s condition.
- A lab can achieve higher concentrations of platelets.
- A lab technician can customize various types of PRP to address the specific needs of a patient.
- Lab processing techniques can separate and concentrate the desired components from the whole blood and eliminate the undesirable cells.
