Safety
1. PRP should be applied to the same patient from whom the blood was drawn.
2. Storage of tubes containing blood at or below 0°C may result in tube breakage.
3. Storage of tubes above 40°C may damage the gel stability.
4. Do not remove conventional rubber stoppers by rolling with a thumb. Remove stoppers with a twist and pull motion.
5. Do not use tubes if foreign matter is present.
6. All liquid preservatives and anticoagulants are clear. Do not use tubes after their expiration date.
7. Do not re-sterilize and do not attempt to clean this product.
8. Do not use products if pouch is damaged.
9. Use prepared platelet concentrate material within 4 hours after drawing blood from patient.
Possible Side Effects
Damage to blood vessels, hematoma, infection and/or irritation.
Temporary or permanent nerve damage that may result in pain or numbness.
As with any injection-based treatment, infection is a slight possibility.
Total Platelet Count
While the most precise way to measure the dose of platelets is counting total platelets, there are many practical limitations to obtaining accurate platelet counts in a clinic. The simplest way to increase the potency of each injection of PRP is to increase concentration (platelets per mL) by removing the unnecessary components of the blood.
The Eclipse PRP System allows you to simply remove red cells, white cells and platelet poor plasma (PPP) without removing a high percentage of platelets. With higher concentrations we can deliver a higher number of total platelets in fewer, smaller volume injections.
THE WAY THE Professional PRP WORKS
This renewable source of health that resides in our own blood was developed and applied in 2003 by the Russian scientists Renat R. Akhmerov (professor, Doctor of Medicine, plastic surgeon and maxillofacial surgeon, oncodermatologist) and Roman F. Zarudy (PhD in Medical Sciences, maxillofacial surgeon, implantologist). They created the Professional PRP technology, a medical procedure that can be called, without exaggeration, the “modern elixir of youth”.
Using the unique ability of growth factors (produced by the platelets) to influence regenerative processes, Akhmerov and Zarudy developed this method of injecting autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into human tissues. In other words, we’re talking about autohemotherapy: immediate, intramuscular or subcutaneous, freshly extracted autologous blood injections. In PRP, the blood t is transformed into platelet plasma (by centrifugation). Applying platelet-rich plasma is the only way to improve wound repair and combat infection without the help of other drugs. The Professional PRP method was used for the first time by the Russian surgeons to treat inflammatory and atrophic diseases, in the postoperative period, in maxillofacial surgery. But practice showed that the spectrum of application for this injectable therapy is much more extensive. Professional PRP is a method of regenerative medicine that treats various pathologies in areas such as aesthetic medicine, gynecology, stomatology, trichology, orthopedics, traumatology, sports medicine and urology.
Professional PRP Difference
Simple: Fewer steps than other PRP (platelet-rich plasma) kits
Excellence: Optimal platelet recovery 87% ± 10%
Fast: Centrifuge with a single spin in a matter of minutes
Patient Friendly: Small volume of blood required
Excellent Value: High volume PRP yield, low cost per mL
HISTORY
The Professional PRP technology – this renewable source of health contained in our own blood – was developed and applied in the 21st century. Applying autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) began with the use of this injectable form in maxillofacial surgery. During the research, scientists discovered that, when PRP is injected into the affected areas, the acceleration of skin regeneration processes is stimulated. The skin also becomes more hydrated, more elastic, firmer, the number and depth of expression wrinkles and pigment spots is reduced.
And, despite the fact that this method was originally developed for dental purposes, this aesthetic effect led Renat R. Akhmerov and Roman F. Zarudy to continue studying the influence of platelet-rich plasma on the human body, which led to innovative discoveries concerning the use of PRP in the treatment of disease in different areas of medicine.
With the improvement of the method, special test tubes were also created. The chemicals and the special gel in them allow a high level of PRP purification, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the injectable treatment.
