How Your Body Heals After Injury?

Recovery from an injury is the result of a carefully coordinated sequence of events involving proteins in your blood that signal and regulate the healing process. Many of these healing proteins are derived from small fragments of cells known as platelets.

When tissue is damaged, platelets travel to the site of injury, activate, and release a family of proteins called growth factors. This release marks the start of the body's natural healing cascade — the same process PRP therapy is designed to amplify.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a concentration of platelets and growth factors prepared from your own blood. To create it, a small blood sample is processed in a centrifuge that separates the platelets from other cellular components.

The result is a solution with significantly higher levels of platelets and growth factors than ordinary blood — and the potential to improve the body's ability to respond to an injury at the site where it's needed most.

Making Your Cells Count With the Arthrex ACP® Double-Syringe System

Growth factors are always present in blood and inside platelets. Platelets are inactive in our bloodstream, but become activated when an injury occurs. They collect at the injured site and release these proteins (the growth factors), which in turn promote the healing process.

RP created with the ACP system harnesses this principle. The ACP system concentrates platelets while reducing the amount of unwanted blood components that could cause inflammation to support the body's self-healing processes.

How Does the PRP Process Work?

Your health care provider will collect your blood using a typical blood-draw procedure. They place the blood into the ACP system, which uses a rapid spinning process to separate and concentrate the platelets and other beneficial growth factors from the blood. This process is typically done in 5 minutes.

Am l a Candidate?

Your health care provider will perform an examination to determine if PRP treatment is right for you or if another treatment regimen is better suited for your procedure. Your doctor will determine your pre- and postprocedural protocol.
