PRP tubes are a central element in modern medicine, especially in regenerative therapy. But what exactly are PRP tubes, how do they work and why are they so important for the collection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP)? In this detailed guide, you will learn everything you need to know about PRP tubes, how they are used and the benefits they offer for various medical and aesthetic treatments.
What are PRP tubes?
PRP tubes are specially developed systems for obtaining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from autologous blood. They are standard instruments in modern regenerative medicine and are used by specialists to ensure safe and standardized preparation.
Functionality
PRP tubes usually contain a separating gel and a suitable anticoagulant (e.g. sodium citrate).
- The separating gel enables clear separation of the blood components during centrifugation.
- The anticoagulant prevents premature coagulation of the blood.
This allows plasma with an increased platelet concentration to be obtained for further processing by specialist personnel, depending on the medical concept.
Production of PRP - the technical process
- Collection of a small amount of venous blood.
- Transfer to a sterile PRP tube.
- Centrifugation in a compatible device.
- Separation of the plasma fraction with increased platelet concentration.
This process must be carried out under sterile conditions and is intended exclusively for trained specialist personnel.
Application of PRP tubes in medicine
PRP tubes are used to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is described in the medical literature in various disciplines. They are used exclusively by medically authorized specialists.
Examples from the specialist literature:
- Orthopaedics: PRP is being investigated in studies in connection with joint and tendon structures, among other things.
- Dermatology & aesthetic medicine: PRP is described in publications in the context of skin and hair treatments.
- Dentistry & oral surgery: PRP is mentioned in studies on support during surgical procedures.
- Wound management: PRP is discussed in specialist articles in relation to the treatment of complex wounds.
Important note:
The specific indication, implementation and assessment of benefit is always the responsibility of the treating physician.
This article does not constitute a promise of cure or efficacy, but is intended to provide general information for healthcare professionals.
The role of the anticoagulant in PRP tubes
Another important aspect in the production of PRP is the choice of the right anticoagulant. The anticoagulant used in the PRP tubes must prevent blood clotting, but at the same time avoid premature activation of the platelets.
" Sodium citrate
most commonly used in PRP tubes as it inhibits clotting and allows controlled handling.
⠀
" Other anticoagulants: can be used in individual cases, but are less common in specialist circles.
The separating gel - technical significance
The separating gel provides a stable barrier between the blood components and enables
- a clean separation of erythrocytes and leukocytes,
- a concentration of thrombocytes in the plasma,
- standardized, reproducible preparation.
Differences to conventional laboratory tubes
Laboratory tubes are designed for diagnostic purposes, not for the subsequent return of blood components to the human body. As a rule, they do not meet the necessary sterility requirements or validation for clinical applications.
PRP tubes, on the other hand, are specially developed for medical use and are subject to corresponding quality and safety standards.
Purpose and application
Laboratory tubes are specially developed for blood analysis in the laboratory. They are used to take blood samples for various tests in order to examine the composition of the blood. These tubes are not intended for the subsequent return of the blood to the patient's body. The collected blood is usually disposed of after analysis.
PRP tubes, on the other hand, are specially developed for the production and therapeutic use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The blood collected in PRP tubes is re-injected into the patient's body after processing in order to promote regenerative processes. PRP tubes must therefore meet strict requirements in terms of purity, sterility and the quality of the materials used.
Certification and sterility
PRP tubes used in the EU are generally CE-certified (in accordance with MDR 2017/745) and are treated using validated sterilization procedures (e.g. gamma radiation or ethylene oxide).
This ensures safety during use by specialist personnel.
PRP tubes: standardized preparation for healthcare professionals
PRP tubes are used for the standardized collection of plasma fractions with an increased platelet concentration. The possibilities and limitations of use are described in the medical literature in various disciplines. The indication, choice of procedure and benefit assessment are always the responsibility of the treating physician (or authorized practitioner under national law).
