The SELPHYL® System is designed for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) from a small sample of blood at the patient point of care. SELPHYL ® removes contaminating red blood cells and white blood cells. PRP is converted to Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) through a controlled process, creating a scaffold that serves to protect and preserve platelets. The 18 mL SELPHYL® System is available as a single pack (item number 440910) or as a multipack of 10 each individually packaged kits (item number 440910-10). The 18 mL SELPHYL® System contains 2 blood collection tubes with yellow stoppers containing buffered sodium citrate solution anticoagulant and plasma separator gel for preparing PRP, 2 PRFM tubes containing calcium chloride solution with red stopper, 1 latex free disposable tourniquet, 1 BD Vacutainer® Luer-Lok™ access device, 1 BD Vacutainer® blood collection set with Safety-Lok® needle and 12" tubing preassembled, and 1 BD Vacutainer® Blood transfer device.
A collection of devices designed to prepare platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) from an autologous blood specimen for application to soft-tissue wounds and injured bone to accelerate healing and/or achieve haemostasis. It includes single- or double- (concentric) barrel syringe(s) with connecting tubes and caps. Blood is collected by venous puncture and processed in a centrifuge, increasing the concentration of platelets within the plasma or fibrin matrix; this may be done at the point-of-care. This is a single-use device.
