The Healing Effects of Autologous Platelet Gel on Acute Human Skin Wounds
To compare the healing of full-thickness skin punch wounds treated with topical autologous platelet gel (APG) vs conventional therapy (antibiotic ointment and/or occlusive dressings) in healthy volunteers.
Red Blood Cell Transfusions and the Risk of ARDS Among Critically Ill: A Cohort Study
Recent data indicate that transfusion of packed red cells (pRBCs) may increase the risk for the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill patients. Uncertainty remains regarding the strength of this relationship.
Pharmacological Prevention of the Deleterious Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study was designed to determine if ketoconazole or indomethacin could reduce the adverse effects of extracorporeal circulation.
Platelet-Rich and Platelet-Poor Plasma: Development of an Animal Model to Evaluate Hemostatic Efficacy
A porcine partial-thickness skin wound model was developed to compare the hemostatic ability of these treatments with untreated control wounds.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Healing of Intrabony Defects Treated With an Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral and Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Membranes
This study aimed to clinically evaluate the effect of PRP on the healing of deep intrabony defects treated with ABBM and GTR by means of a non-resorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane.
Contradicting the Reimbursement Myth for Non-Transfused Blood Components
Many clinicians believe that the procedure and supplies for producing and applying non-transfused blood components, including platelet gel, is not reimbursable.
Platelet Gel Forms and Templates

Platelet-Rich Plasma: Quantification of Growth Factor Levels and the Effect on Growth and Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Cells
In this study, rat bone marrow cells were cultured in PRP-coated wells or in uncoated wells for 16 days in osteogenic medium, and analyzed on cell growth (DNA content) and cell differentiation (alkaline phosphatase [ALP] activity, calcium content, scanning electron microscopy, and QPCR).
Gel Made From Patient’s Own Blood Aids Healing
A topical gel derived from a patient's own blood may help wounds heal more quickly and completely, according to a new preliminary study.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Basic Science Video
