Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is plasma with high platelet count. Currently, PRP is used in many fields of medicine [1, 2, 9]. It is believed that the platelet count in PRP should be about 1 million per 1 μl, or 2-5 times higher than in whole blood of a healthy person, where their content is 150,000 to 450,000 per 1 μl. This platelet concentration is considered necessary for effective tissue regeneration. PRP is usually obtained from the patient's own blood (autologous PRP) [10]. There are many methods and techniques to obtain PRP [18, 21], which significantly complicates the development of its classification. The most commonly used classification is developed by D. Dohan Ehrenfest, who divided platelet concentrates by leukocyte concentration and fibrin content into 4 groups [11]. According to this classification, PRP is divided by the content of leukocytes into leukocyte-containing and pure. Leukocyte-containing PRP has a high concentration of leukocytes, pure PRP is characterized by their low content. Other classifications of platelet concentrates have been proposed, in particular by J. Magalon. It uses the number of platelets, the percentage of platelets and other cells in PRP. This classification takes into account the effectiveness of techniques and devices for platelet isolation [20].
