Osocze bogatopłytkowe (PRP)
Our own blood is a source of approximately 300 growth factors and 4,000 proteins responsible for the proliferation of epithelial cells, collagen production, hyaluronic acid synthesis, endothelial cell proliferation, and angiogenesis.
After centrifuging the blood to remove erythrocytes and leukocytes, we are able to obtain a significantly concentrated amount of platelets containing most of these factors, which stimulate regeneration and repair of connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and degenerated articular cartilage.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) encompasses the scope of viscosupplementation and prolotherapy and, in addition, effectively regenerates connective tissue. The preparation process before the procedure is particularly important: the proper amount of blood must be collected for concentration in order to maximize the potential of platelet-derived growth factors, not solely relying on the action of plasma proteins.
