Platelet Gel Device Summary (2007)
A summary of all the platelet gel devices currently available in the United States.
Quality Assessment of Platelet Rich Plasma During Anti-Platelet Therapy
Evidence in this pilot study supports the use of PRP for patients receiving Plavix and aspirin therapy without compromising the quantity of specific growth factors delivered to a wound site.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Stimulates Osteoblastic Differentiation in the Presence of BMPs
In the present study, we examined the effects of PRP on proliferation and osteoblast differentiation in vitro in the presence of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). PRP and its soluble fraction stimulated osteoblastic differentiation of myoblasts and osteoblastic cells in the presence of BMP-2, BMP-4, BMP-6 or BMP-7.
Platelet-Enriched Fibrin Glue and Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Repair of Bone Defects Adjacent to Titanium Dental Implants
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of platelet-enriched fibrin glue and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the repair of bone defects adjacent to titanium dental implants.
Treatment of Ocular Surface Syndrome After LASIK With Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
To ascertain the usefulness of platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of patients suffering from symptomatic ocular surface syndrome following LASIK.
Study on Collagen Membrane Combinating With Autogenous Bone Marrow Stromal Cells or Platelet Rich Plasma in Repairing Alveolar Bone Defect in Dogs
To evaluate the potential of bioresorbable collagen membrane in a combination with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) or platelet rich plasma (PRP) in repairing alveolar bone defects.
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.
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.
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.
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
Included below is a selection of various forms and templates that should be useful to anyone interested in getting into the Platelet Gel busniess.
