Platelet-Rich Plasma in Corneal Surgery

Le résumé fourni par la source

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is defined by Marx 1 as a portion of the plasma fraction of autologous blood having a platelet concentration above baseline. He uses a PRP device, concentrate platelets using a double centrifugation technique, and activate PRP just when they are ready to use it. The final concentration is at least 1.000.000 platelets/μm. Therefore, it is an autologous concentration of platelets and growth factors. After the complete release of growth factors, platelets are able to synthesize and secrete additional growth factors for the remaining several days of their lifespan, thus expanding the wound-healing effect. 1
