Platelet-rich plasma or PRP therapy is a non-invasive treatment that’s rapidly gaining traction in the medical and aesthetic fields. Any medical clinic should have a good PRP kit to effectively break apart the blood components and discover the autologous platelets that can be used for PRP injections. Despite its simplicity, PRP extraction has been covered in the debate over the methods’ dependability for the past decade. We’re going to try to clear up the confusion by providing information on how to choose the easiest PRP kit and its supplier.
Plasmolifting World creates tools and methods to speed up the restoration and healing of body cells and tissues. They only use and recommend medical consumables and equipment that comply with all European countries’ regulatory compliance requirements for medical device manufacturing and distribution. The PRP tubes they recommend are suitable for Plasmolifting PRP operations, allow for changing platelet concentrations in both supernatant plasma and tissues, ensure complete separation of red blood cells from plasma, are simple to use and are made in Italy.
What is a Good PRP Kit?
The PRP preparation needs the major steps:
- Draw Blood
- Centrifuges
- Activation of Platelet
- Administration via injection
To smoothly undergo this process a kit should contain certain instruments. Good suppliers will always provide the tools mentioned below in their kit. Certain commercial kits might not contain everything. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the difference between all the kits –
Gel Separators
These are tubes filled with a gel that has been kept at room temperature. This gel is prepared to separate blood from platelets due to diffusion. Most of the platelets will be captured by the gel once the tube has passed through the centrifuge. This can result in a maximum concentration of 1.5x platelets, but it will still dispose of WBCs and RBCs.
Buffy Coat
A buffy coat is a thin layer that forms between the blood and the plasma during centrifugation. Platelets and white blood cells are the main components, with plasma on top and packed blood below. Following that, you must be able to separate the buffy coat from the RBCs without contaminating them. This could help you induce PRP using only 100% red blood cells. The kit that allows you to look at a buffy coat is likely to provide you with concentrations of 5-7 times.
Buffy Coat with Double Spin
The buffy coat of the third and final type is devoid of RBCs. This is frequently the most successful kit on the market because, after separating the PRP from the red blood cells, you spin it again to further eliminate the red blood cells and concentrate the platelets. After that, all that’s left is to try to separate the buffy coat, which is usually done using PRP.
Choosing an inefficient kit could result in platelet-poor plasma with a low platelet count and low GF. There are various well-known PRP kit brands on the market now. However, the machine’s ability to produce potent concentrations of PRP is the most important factor to consider. If there is a low platelet concentration, your patient may not receive the most out of the PRP treatment. Since a pure PRP is required for the injection, therefore you should consider a system that protects the platelet solution from infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria.
