A Short Introduction To Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Blood Components -93 % RBCs -6 % Platelets -1 % WBCs -Plasma(Liquid Component) PRP - 94 % Platelets and Plasma - 5 % WBCs
Function of Blood Cells Leukocytes ; Infection Removal Bacteria Erythrocytes; Oxygen Transport Platelets; Blood clotting and wound healing.
Platelets Platelets derived from megokaryocytes Important in Hemostasis/Clotting Platelets are normally activated during the inflammatory phase to begin healing Role in the normal healing response via the secrection of local growth factors Growth factors released by platelets recruit reparative cells and augment soft-tissue repair
What Is PRP 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 degranulation) several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue.
