Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has become one of the most popular therapies for tissue regeneration and injury treatment, especially in sports and orthopedics. However, to ensure its efficacy and safety, there are key aspects you should know before undergoing this procedure. In this article, we explain the most important elements to consider, with a focus on preparation, platelet counting and professional application.
1. Preparation under a class 2A laminar flow cabinet: a critical step
The preparation of PRP is a delicate process that requires sterile conditions to avoid contamination. In specialized centers such as Stem Cell Therapy Argentina, a class 2A laminar flow cabinet is used, an equipment designed to maintain a controlled and particle-free environment. This environment is essential to ensure plasma purity and safety.
A fundamental aspect: the tubes should not be opened in front of the patient by the physician. Opening the tubes in the presence of the patient increases the risk of contamination by air or contact, compromising the quality of the PRP. This protocol ensures that the material is handled exclusively in a sterile area, by trained personnel, protecting your health and maximizing treatment results.
2. Platelet count: the key to effective PRP
Not all PRP is the same. For a Platelet Rich Plasma treatment to be considered authentic and effective, it must contain more than five times the baseline blood platelet count. This means that if your normal platelet count is approximately 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter, a therapeutic PRP must exceed 750,000 platelets per microliter.
Accurate platelet counting, such as with specialized equipment like the Platelet Counter, is indispensable. This measurement allows you to customize treatment to your needs and ensures that you are receiving an optimal concentration of growth factors, essential for tissue repair and reduction of inflammation.
3. Clean room application by a sports physician: precision and technology.
The success of PRP depends largely on how it is applied. This procedure should be performed in a clean room by a sports physician experienced in regenerative therapies. The clean room ensures a sterile environment, while the specialist ensures a direct injection into the injury, optimizing the delivery of platelets to the affected area.
In addition, if the treatment is performed under ultrasound, the results can be significantly improved. Ultrasound allows the physician to visualize the injury in real time, ensuring precise application and avoiding damage to surrounding tissues. This combination of technology and expertise is ideal for treating conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis or sports injuries.
Conclusion: Rely on professionals and advanced technology.
Before opting for a PRP treatment, make sure it is performed under strict sterility protocols, with an adequate platelet count and by a trained specialist.
