Enhancement of post‐operative healing using platelet rich plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma ( PRP ) Therapy

Molloy, et. al., (2003) address specific growth factors encountered in ligament and tendon healing. After reading about the factors found in superficial wounds, above, these should appear familiar, including: Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)—produced shortly after tendon injury, stimulates production of other growth factors such as IGF-1, and is involved in the tissue remodeling phase of h...

Effects of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Growth Factor (PRGF®)on the Wound Healing of Distal Part of Limbs in Horses

Objectives- To evaluate the efficacy of platelet rich- plasma (PRP) and plasma rich-growth factor (PRGF®) on the wound healing on distal aspect of horses limbs. Design- Experimental study Animals - Four mixed- breed adult horses, 13 to 21 years of age and weighting 381 ±85 kg Procedures- The Limbs of each horse were treated with PRP, PRGF®, Silver Sulfa diazin and one limb received no treatment...

Evaluation of the Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Tendon Gap Healing by Measuring Collagen Synthesis in Guinea Pig

Objectives- Hydroxyproline is a specific amino acid of collagen which is widely used to estimate the collagen content in biological specimens. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on tendon gap healing using two different scaffold made from subcutaneous fascia and polypropylene tube. Design- Experimental study Animals - 16 young adult Guinea pigs...

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) for facial rejuvenation

As a result, human growth factors have been widely studied and today there are clinical applications of several individual growth factors. Examples are a keratinocyte growth factor (Kepivance®, Sweden) for oral mucositis and platelet derived growth factor (Regranex, UK) for non-healing diabetic wounds. However, these exogenous growth factors, when applied outside their normal environment, may h...
