How Rich is Platelet Rich Plasma? A Simple Preparation Method of PRP and Its Quality According to Various Classification Systems

The study tested a simple two-step method for preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) using blood from 100 healthy participants. This method involved centrifuging the blood to concentrate platelets, resulting in a final concentration over four times the baseline with 30% capture efficiency and 80% purity. The quality of the PRP was comparable to commercial systems but at a lower cost. The study concluded that PRP should be classified using available scoring systems to ensure its suitability and quality for therapeutic purposes. The proposed method allows smaller medical institutions to affordably utilize PRP therapy.
