RegenKit® THT® Medical Device Kits are available in 10 mL and 20 mL variations. They contain Regen® THT® tubes for blood collection and PRP recovery. Regen® THT® tubes are composed of pharmaceutical-grade glass with a vacuum for automated blood collection.

They contain a Sodium citrate solution and a thixotropic separating gel, to isolate plasma and platelets from other blood components and produce RegenCell® (Mononuclear-Selective A-PRP®) with a standardized composition.

The Sodium citrate anticoagulant is fully-reversible and pH neutral, lending to a considerably higher patient tolerability and enhanced ease of use.

Intended Use of the Device: All models of RegenKit® THT® are designed to be used for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from a small sample of blood at the patient’s point of care. The PRP is mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to an orthopedic surgical site as deemed necessary by the clinical use requirements.

RegenKit® THT® models are for single-use only.

Both RegenKit^® BCT-3 (10 mL)  and RegenKit^® BCT-3 (20 mL) contain: 

Three (3) Regen^®BCT Tubes for different blood draw volumes.

RegenKit^® BCT-1 Procedure Kit Contains:

1 Regen^® BCT 10 mL Tube, 1 Safety–Lok™ Butterfly needle, 1 Collection holder, 1 Transfer device, 1 transfer needles, 1  5 mL Luer-Lok™ syringe

Blood Draw Accessories Compatible with 10 mL and 20 mL RegenKit® Medical Devices are available for your convenience, and are highly recommended to maximize preparation efficiency.

Strict aseptic technique must be followed during the whole procedure. Use proper safety precautions to avoid contact with patient blood or cross-contamination. Use proper safety precautions to protect against needles or broken tubes. Do not use sterile component of this kit if it is opened or damaged. Do not use components of this kit if they are broken or present a defect. Do not use the tube if it has lost vacuum. Do not use the sodium citrate solution or other tube components separately. Store between 5 ºC and 30ºC; bring the kit to ambient temperature before using tubes. Do not re-sterilise, do not use after the expiration date. Single use device, do not reuse any part of the kit. Reuse may lead to infection or other illness / injury. Transfer needle must be used to transfer liquids only and should not be used for injection. The preparation of the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) must be performed by a physician trained on the equipment and procedure, or under the supervision of the physician. The treatment with PRP must be performed by a qualified physician. Do not inject PRP intravascularly. The patient must be informed of the general risks associated with the treatment and of the possible adverse effects. The safety and effectiveness of combination of PRP with other therapies should be assessed by the physician. The safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated in children and in pregnant or lactating women. The PRP must be prepared from fresh blood and must be used within four hours (extemporaneous use only).

All tubes and components of the kit are to be entirely discarded by elimination method after each use to avoid potential contamination with blood products. Use a 45° fixed angle rotor centrifuge or a horizontal head swinging bucket centrifuge (ex. RegenPRP Centri provided by Regen Lab). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using the centrifuge. Tubes should be centrifuged, as recommended in the instructions for use, at a relative centrifugation force (RCF) of 1500 g. Excessive RCF (over 2200 g) may lead to tube breakage resulting in blood exposure, and possible injury. RCF below 1500 g may lead to incorrect blood separation and red blood cell contamination of PRP. Centrifuge carriers and inserts size should be adapted to the tubes. Use of carriers too large or too small may result in breakage of the tubes. Caution should be taken to ensure that tubes are properly seated in the centrifuge carriers. Tubes must be balanced in the centrifuge.

Possible adverse effects:

Possible side effects of blood collection
Blood collection may cause damage of the blood vessels, hematomas, superficial phlebitis, delayed wound healing, early or late infection and/or temporary or permanent nerve damage that may result in pain or numbness.
