PRP tubes: Application, benefits & risks at a glance

PRP tubes: Everything you need to know!

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a highly concentrated blood plasma that contains a larger number of thrombocytes (blood platelets) than ordinary blood plasma. These platelets are known for their ability to promote healing processes and stimulate cell growth - one reason why PRP therapies are becoming increasingly popular in medicine and cosmetics. But successful PRP therapy requires special components, and this is where PRP tubes come into play.

PRP tubes play an important role in regenerative medicine. They make it possible to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient's own blood, which can be used for various treatments. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about PRP tubes:

What are PRP tubes?

PRP tubes are special blood collection tubes that are coated with an anticoagulant and a separating gel. The anticoagulant prevents the blood from clotting, while the separating gel separates the different blood components from each other. Centrifugation of the blood in the PRP tubes separates the platelet-rich plasma from the remaining blood tissue.
