Autologous blood concentrates PRF
Autologous blood concentrates PRF
Ideally, healing processes should be accelerated and improved by the body's own natural substances. We make this possible with the biomedical procedure PRF = Platelet Rich Fibrin (platelet-rich fibrin, autologous blood therapy).
Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) is an autologous (body's own) fibrin matrix rich in leukocytes and thrombocytes, which is obtained from the body's own blood by centrifugation at a certain number of revolutions without the addition of other substances. It is rich in growth factors and can be used either as a membrane, as a clot or as a liquid.
What is special about PRF: Because the procedure consists of 100 percent of the patient's own blood, it is absolutely compatible. Allergies, side effects or rejection are ruled out.
In our practice, it is mainly used after tooth removal for socket preservation, i.e. for "tissue preservation". Some blood is taken under sterile conditions and centrifuged. This separates the yellow fibrin from the red blood cells. The yellow, now gel-like fibrin is removed from the tube, pressed into a "cork" or membrane and inserted into the wound. The result is faster and painless wound healing.
Since we have been using the PRF procedure, the incidence of post-operative inflammation - especially the notorious "toothache" after tooth removal - has fallen to almost zero
