Platelet-rich plasma: harvesting with a single-spin centrifuge

J Oral Implantol. 2002;28(6):297-301. doi: 10.1563/1548-1336(2002)028<0297:PPHWAS>2.3.CO;2.

Abstract

This paper discusses the results recently seen by practitioners who use platelet-rich plasma, as well as the practical considerations that they must make when considering whether to adapt their practice for its use. In this study, an average of a 358% increase in platelet concentration was achieved.
