Blood Recovery Systems, Inc. has an extensive base of experience and knowledge in the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Autologous Patelet Gel.  Platelet Gel, or PRP, is comprised of a range of autologous growth factors which act synergistically to accelerate the rate and degree of tissue regeneration, improving wound healing.  When concentrated autologous platelets are mixed with calcified thrombin a series of structural and functional changes involved in coagulation take place. Secreted from the platelets are a number of factors including serotonin, fibronectin, adenosine diphosphate, thromboxane A, platelet factor 4, platelet derived growth factor and platelet activating factor.  Release of these factors cause a chemotactic response and initiates the process of migration between the endothelial cells.

The release of these factors cause a chemotactic response and initiates the process of migration between the endothelial cells. As more factors continue to be released from platelets, monocytes and macrophages, angiogenesis, osteogenesis and the formation of granulation tissue is promoted.

Clinical applications appear to be widespread. We have experience in treating chronic non-healing wounds, the closure of dural tears, various orthopedic applications including spinal fusions, non-unionizing fractures and total joint replacements, oral surgery, sinus surgery, and various plastic surgery procedures including face-lifts, laser resurfacing, breast lifts, breast reconstruction (TRAM Flaps) and tummy tucks.
