The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Device is a single-use, sterile concentrating device. It concentrates blood components and aids in the separation of the blood components by density using a centrifuge. The PRP prepared by this device has not been evaluated for any clinical indications. The PRP prepared by this device is NOT indicated for delivery to the patient’s circulatory system.
A small, cylindrical container intended to temporarily store venous blood and subsequently placed in a centrifuge to produce platelet rich fibrin (PRF) or platelet rich plasma (PRP) for application to the patient from whom the blood was taken (typically for mixing with bone graft to repair bone defects and/or application to skin wounds to accelerate healing and/or achieve haemostasis). It typically includes a lid intended to be pierced with a syringe needle for blood infusion and PRF/PRP withdrawal, clot activator (e.g., silica) and/or filter for isolation of the PRF/PRP, and a rotation mechanism facilitated by centrifugation. This is a single-use device.
