Platelet Therapies

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biological product created from autologous blood plasma that is centrifuged and separated to achieve a platelet concentration above the baseline. In addition to the high platelet concentration, PRP contains the full complement of clotting factors, and other cellular components such as white blood cells (WBCs) and peripheral stem cells. These components all play a biological role in the healing process and are provided at concentrated levels in PRP. Thus, PRP contributes to conditions optimization for healing of bone and soft tissue.

Platelets: the powerful ally

Platelets play a critical role in several aspects of the healing process. Activated platelets express adhesion molecules that support clot formation for hemostasis. They also release several antimicrobial peptides that deliver properties for infection control. Most importantly as it relates to healing, platelets also release chemokines and numerous growth factors, including SDF-1α, PDGF, TGF-β and VEGF, that have been shown to orchestrate key biological processes, including stem cell recruitment, angiogenesis, inflammation resolution, cell proliferation, differentiation, tissue regeneration and bacteriostasis.

Thus, PRP offers the physician an alternative to other widespread options, such as steroid injections that provide short-term relief by masking symptoms such as pain and inflammation that are the result of an injury, rather than actually addressing the cause of the injury directly through repair of damaged tissue.

OMNIPLEX^ΤΜ PRP: Taming platelet power

The concept behind the clinical use of PRP is to harness the natural biological components of a patient’s blood. Platelet concentration is directly proportional to growth factor concentration.13 When more platelets are concentrated in a PRP preparation, more growth factors and microbicidal proteins are delivered to the application site.

The amvyx OMNIPLEXTM PRP is an innovative and clinically proven PRP system, of 4th generation design, which allows the extraction of high concentration PRP (≥7x baseline) at high quantities with excellent quality characteristics, at a competitive price so that it becomes staple to any treatment (omnipresent).

Simple, safe, sallient

As a 100% closed system (4th gen), OMNIPLEXTM PRP is provided sterile and ready-to-use with a streamlined technique of receiving, separating and collecting cell fraction within the same consumable with a guarantee of sterility and sample protection.

With cellular recovery rates over 85% of available platelets from 40ml of initial blood volume, and 96% cell viability, OMNIPLEX PRP raises the benchmark in PRP systems by offering therapeutic concentrations from 5x to 9x baseline, in amounts from 5ml to 2ml respectively, depending on application  requirements.

PROPLEX^TM PRP: the ultimate system, times 2

How double (skyrocket) all performance of a 4th generation system? Answer: with PROPLEXTM PRP! Double separation, double volume, double performance!

PROPLEXTM PRP is the design response to the requirements of extensive tissue regeneration treatments, where the management of large blood volumes (80ml) is not feasible or advantageous via using 2 kits of OMNIPLEXTM PRP. Extracting PRP from a common blood pool has many advantages over dividing the same volume into multiple consumables.

With special innovations encompassed in PROPLEXTM PRP, losses are reduced, while sample volume and platelet concentrations are increased with absolute safety for the blood sample and donor. The dual, aseptic access through special valves to the sample contributes to better concentration and isolation of the cellular fraction, in quantities and concentrations sufficient to cover large areas or tissue lesions in both aesthetic medicine, surgery and trauma.

In combination with stem cell applications, PROPLEXTM PRP is the ultimate biological treatment available today, immediately and easily applicable in both outpatient and surgical environments.
