Platelet Rich Plasma Technology
The buffy coat (PRP) is made up of platelets and white blood cells (WBC)
- Platelets act as signaling molecules e.g., for growth factors
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC): Monocytes and Lymphocytes only
WBC are made up of
- Monocytes – anti inflammatory (long term)
- Lymphocytes – immunomodulatory
- Granulocytes – anti inflammatory (pro inflammatory acute environment)
The procedure maximizes Platelets and PBMC composition and minimizes granulocyte components
