With twenty percent of all adults experiencing chronic pain1, you likely have many patients who are searching for effective pain
management solutions.
Chronic pain can significantly alter activity level and mobility, resulting in
a greatly diminished quality of life. Acute pain, also, can lead to the
inability to work, and can even lead to chronic pain if not effectively and
promptly treated.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP, offers patients an
attractive alternative to pain-reducing drugs, corticosteroid injections, and
invasive surgeries, and boasts a strong safety profile with no known adverse
effects.2
But how does it work? PRP relieves pain by stimulating the
body’s innate healing cascade. When we experience a soft tissue injury,
our body responds by delivering a rush of platelet cells. When these platelets
are activated, they release several types of growth factors that play a
fundamental role in cell regeneration and tissue healing.
But
PRP takes the natural healing response one step further
by separating platelets from other blood components and concentrating them.
This specially prepared platelet-rich plasma contains 5 to 10 times the
concentration of platelets found in whole blood. The concentrated PRP is then
delivered into and around the site of injury via injection, stimulating and
significantly strengthening the body’s healing response.
Since PRP is an autologous therapy, using the patient’s own blood
product, there is no risk of cross reactivity or immune reaction.3
Studies have shown that PRP is effective in reducing lower back pain caused by
intervertebral disc degeneration4 and pain
from hip osteoarthritis.5
PRP often results in long-lasting relief of other
painful musculoskeletal conditions including:
- Back and neck injuries
- Pelvic pain and instability
- Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, and spine
- Tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Chronic plantar fasciitis6
THE PRP PROCESS
To create a platelet-rich plasma preparation, the following
steps are performed:
-
A small sample of blood is drawn from the patient and injected into the Dr.
PRP blood tube.
-
The platelets are then separated from the other blood components and their
concentration is increased using the Dr. PRP centrifuge.
-
The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected into and around the
injured site of the patient.
-
The concentrated growth factors contained in the plasma trigger a mild
inflammatory response which effectively jump starts the body’s own
natural healing response.
The entire process takes approximately one hour, including preparation and
recovery time. For a complete demonstration of each step of the process, view
our instructional video.
DR. PRP
The Dr. PRP is an FDA-cleared medical device, holding the esteemed 510K
clearance, meticulously designed to prepare patients' blood for PRP therapy
quickly and efficiently.
Our patented design creates high-concentration and high-quality platelet-rich
plasma that can be used to stimulate the healing process. This results in
decreased inflammation and tissue regeneration stimulation at the injured
site, effectively treating the cause of the pain, rather than dulling it
temporarily.

BENEFITS OF DR. PRP
SAFETY
- Completely closed, sterile system.
- Outside air is blocked with a double safety cap.
-
Since the processing is completed within the closed system, there is no risk
of the PRP becoming contaminated.
EASY TO USE
- Each kit comes pre-packaged.
-
The clear chambers ensure that you can see all the components of the blood
sample.
-
The buffy coat layer is easily seen in the neck of the device, allowing you
to precisely separate the components into the type of PRP you wish to
produce.
- You can even eliminate red blood cells from your final PRP product.
QUICK AND CONVENIENT
- The closed system allows for more treatments in less time.
- Customize your final PRP composition for use in different situations.
-
The PRP can and should be administered as soon as you prepare it with our
kit – no advanced preparation is needed.
HIGH CONCENTRATION
-
One kit holds 20 cc of fluid (3 cc of anticoagulant + 17 cc of whole blood)
and produces 4 cc of highly concentrated PRP.
-
The platelet recovery percentage of Dr. PRP is higher than the minimum
recovery percentage of other similar products from our competitors.
CONSISTENT RESULTS
-
Platelets require red and white blood cells to survive long-term. Unlike gel
separators that capture the platelets within the gel, our kit allows you to
accurately create consistently efficient PRP at the concentrations you want.
QUALITY
-
Our kit can recover 90% of platelets from a blood sample to produce the
highest quality PRP.
FDA 510K CLEARED
- The kit is now proudly holding the FDA 510K clearance.
PATENTED DESIGN
-
According to the ISO 13485, our kit is made with a thorough gamma-ray
sterilization system.
-
Made only with biocompatibility-certification completed raw materials.
