Objective: To verify the performance of a new method for obtaining platelet-rich plasma, while avoiding contamination of the sample during its processing. Study Design: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was e�tracted. �e then proDesign: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was e�tracted. �e then proesign: Twenty healthy patients were selected, from whom 21 ml of blood was e�tracted. �e then proceeded to study the platelets and growth factors in basal blood after centrifuging the sample by using a new closed system for obtaining platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Results: After centrifuging the blood sample, double the amount of platelets as that found in basal blood was obtained. Of the four growth factors analyzed, only the factor similar to insulin (IG�) contained the same concentration after the centrifuge process. The platelet-derived growth factor (PDG�) and the vascular growth factor (VG�) were multiplied by si� with respect to the basal values and disproportionately increased the levels of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). Conclusions: The new closed method for obtaining PRP, after avoiding contamination of the sample following its use, offers levels of platelet concentrate and growth factors necessary for regeneration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
