What is PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin)
A matrix concentrate of autologous platelets, leukocytes and fibrin.
Gain predictable regeneration and accelerated healing for an overall increase of treatment success with our course in PRF applications to various implant surgical procedures.
Benefits of using PRF in wound healing.
Platelet-rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentrate which can enhance both soft and hard tissue healing. Its advantages over platelet-rich plasma include ease of preparation, ease of application, minimal expense, and lack of biochemical modification (no bovine thrombin or anticoagulant is required). This considerably reduces the biochemical handling of blood as well as risks associated with the use of bovine-derived thrombin.
PRF also contains physiologically available thrombin that results in slow polymerization of fibrinogen into fibrin which results in a physiologic architecture that is favourable to wound healing.
