Effects of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Growth Factor (PRGF®)on the Wound Healing of Distal Part of Limbs in Horses

Objectives- To evaluate the efficacy of platelet rich- plasma (PRP) and plasma rich-growth factor (PRGF®) on the wound healing on distal aspect of horses limbs. Design- Experimental study Animals - Four mixed- breed adult horses, 13 to 21 years of age and weighting 381 ±85 kg Procedures- The Limbs of each horse were treated with PRP, PRGF®, Silver Sulfa diazin and one limb received no treatment...

Platelet Rich Plasma ( PRP ) Therapy

Molloy, et. al., (2003) address specific growth factors encountered in ligament and tendon healing. After reading about the factors found in superficial wounds, above, these should appear familiar, including: Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)—produced shortly after tendon injury, stimulates production of other growth factors such as IGF-1, and is involved in the tissue remodeling phase of h...

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) for facial rejuvenation

As a result, human growth factors have been widely studied and today there are clinical applications of several individual growth factors. Examples are a keratinocyte growth factor (Kepivance®, Sweden) for oral mucositis and platelet derived growth factor (Regranex, UK) for non-healing diabetic wounds. However, these exogenous growth factors, when applied outside their normal environment, may h...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for knee disorders

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product with platelet concentrations above baseline values. The process involves the extraction of blood from the patient which is then centrifuged to obtain a concentrated suspension of platelets by plasmapheresis. It then undergoes a two-stage centrifugation process to separate the solid and liquid components of the anticoagulated blood. PRP o...
