Why should it work?
AUTOLOGOUS PLATELETS CAN BE A SOURCE OF
GROWTH FACTORS FOR HEALING AND
TISSUE REGENERATION

Platelet-Rich Plasma
is the outcome of a
centrifugation of
autologous blood.
Contains a high
concentration of
platelets
(4-8 times)
PLATELETS

Role in
HAEMOSTASIS

Growth Factors
RELEASE

Ø  Promote tissue repair
Ø  Influence the reactivity of vascular and other
blood cells in angiogenesis and inflammation
Where are the GFs?
Platelet activation
§  Activation
§  exposed collagen, damage or thrombin
§  Dramatic morphological change
§  Adhesion, spreading, aggregation,
activation of other platelets and clot
retraction
§  Alpha Granule release
§  200-500 nm, ~50 to 80 per platelet
§  Over 30 bioactive proteins, with
roles in haemostasis and tissue
healing.

Harrison and Cramer 1993

Platelet granule release

Alpha granules migrate
to platelet periphery (a),
where the plasma
membrane blebs (b),
and ruptures (c) Loss of
electron density with
rupture
