Hi, I'm planning to go for PRP treatment, and I have read that the kit brand is an important factor for the treatment's success. May I get a recommended kit brand, and If I can get a review on the kit appears in the attached photo. Thank you.

Answer: Which PRP kit is the best? I honestly don't think we have the data to answer this question. The ideal platelet rich plasma has 5-7 x the concentration of platelets in whole blood. Higher concentrations are associated with: platelet-derived growth factortransforming growth factor betafibroblast growth factorinsulin-like growth factor 1insulin-like growth factor 2vascular endothelial growth factorepidermal growth factorInterleukin 8keratinocyte growth factorconnective tissue growth factor All of which contribute to healing injured tendons, rejuvenating lost collagen, and helping with pain from loss of cartilage and arthritis.

Answer: PRP Kits Thank you for your question. It is best to use a PRP kit that is a double spin kit and able to reach platelet concentrations 6-8 times the concentration in whole blood. The kit you displayed will concentrate platelets 1-2 times the concentration in whole blood. The kit should be FDA cleared as well. There are several kits that meet this criteria. The volume of blood drawn is important as well. In order to obtain higher concentrations of PRP in significant quantity will require 30 to 60 cc of whole blood to be drawn and processed. We use the Emcyte kits.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
