The product is exactly as the name describes; it is the liquid portion of blood with a high concentration of platelets (along with associated growth factors). Large amounts of\u00a0platelet derived growth factor, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-\u03b2) and smaller\u00a0amounts of insulin-like growth (IGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF-\u03b1 are released upon activation. These growth factors act together\u00a0to to bring\u00a0healthy inflammatory cells to the area of tissue injury. Growth Factors\u00a0encourage formation of new blood\u00a0vessels (angiogenesis), as well as encourage formation of new connective tissue (fibroplasia).\u00a0PRP is collected, prepared, and injected into the lesion.
