RegenPRP™

Platelets are key factors in tissue repair mechanisms.¹ They provide essential growth factors, such as FGF, PDGF, TGF-β, EGF, VEGF, IGF, which are involved in stem cell migration, differentiation and proliferation. Platelets also stimulate fibroblasts and endothelial cells to induce the deposition of new extracellular matrix and neovascularization, respectively. These cell fragments (platelets are fragments of megakaryocytes) essentially act as a conductor to facilitate a highly-orchestrated and multi-lateral engagement of the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The platelets prepared in RegenPRP™ are concentrated from the patient’s own blood.

Plasma is the liquid matrix which sustains and facilitates the passage of cellular elements and nutrients throughout the body, sustaining the health and vigor of tissues.  It contains many factors essential for cell survival including nutrients, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, growth factors (such as IGF and HGF), and proteins. Among the plasma proteins, the molecules vital for the coagulation process and for formation of the fibrin polymer will serve as a scaffold for cell migration and new tissue generation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma is a preparation borne from the collection of whole blood and separation of its components in such a way that the plasma, platelets, nutrients and growth factors are isolated from the Granulocytes (GRN) and Red Blood Cells (RBC).  In some cases, a significant recovery of Mononuclear Cells (MNC) may be desirable.  Therefore it is important to differentiate between the two subdivisions of White Blood Cells (WBC).

Pictured above is a preparation of RegenPlasma® | Leukocyte-Poor A-PRP® prepared by Regen® BCT.  After a 10 mL Blood Draw and a 5 minute spin, roughly 5-6 mL of PRP are generated.
