Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, PRP contains (and releases through de-granulation) several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue. Platelets are known to aid in the healing process of all wounds and the regeneration of cells.
Platelet rich plasma is created by using the patient’s own blood. The blood is withdrawn, as with any regular blood draw, and then is separated into two different parts; one part being the red blood cells while the other part is a concentrated mix of growth factors and platelets, with the result being platelet rich plasma. PRP or platelet rich plasma can be defined as the liquid plasma part of the blood which contains growth factors and platelets, and only a few red blood cells. The concentration of the platelets and growth factors is at least 5 to 7 times that of regular blood plasma. This process stimulates the release of proteins that causes the cells to proliferate, remodel, and repair. If the elevated concentration is not present then you do not have platelet rich plasma.
