1- To create the PRF material, blood is taken from the patient.
2- Spun by a special machine called a centrifuge into a platelet concentration.
3,4- This platelet concentration is then produced into membranes which are rich in white blood cells and blood vessel growth factors.
5- The membranes are then placed on or over the area which accelerated healing is desired.
6,7 – These membranes are completely made of the patient’s own bodily material and promote wound healing and sealing, bone growth, and graft stabilization.
This method of promoting cell regeneration is unique compared to more traditionally used techniques because the need to add anticoagulants, bone-derived thrombin, or other unnatural chemicals to the cell mixture is unnecessary.
The surgeon is able to use the patient’s own membrane instead of synthetic or animal membranes, eliminating the possibility of rejection.
