Platelet-Rich Plasma

Meaning

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product prepared by concentrating platelets in a small volume of plasma, resulting in a concentration of growth factors significantly higher than that found in whole blood. This concentration is achieved through centrifugation of a patient’s own blood. PRP is a therapeutic tool leveraged in clinical practice for its ability to deliver a high dose of essential growth factors and cytokines directly to a site of injury or degeneration, thereby stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.
