Evaluation of Platelet Gel Characteristics Using Thrombin Produced by the Thrombin Processing Device: A Comparative Study
Autologous platelet gels can be prepared using the patient's own platelet-rich plasma and thrombin produced by the Thrombin Processing Device (Thermogenesis Corp, Rancho Cordova, CA).
Activation of Platelet-Rich Plasma Using Soluble Type I Collagen
In this work, our hypothesis was that soluble type I collagen would be as effective as bovine thrombin in causing clotting of the PRP and stimulating growth factor release from the platelets and granulocytes.
