Introduction:
The Chocron PRF procedure cannot be completed without a PRF tube. PRF, also known as (Platelet Rich Fibrin), is a unique centrifugation process used in regenerative medicine developed in 2001 by Dr. Inventé and founded by Joseph Choucron. Blood is collected in PRF Tubes, such as A-PRF tubes, and samples are processed in quadrupole centrifuges. We will look at these tubes and their different types in this article.
General Description of PRF Tubes:
Medical-grade plastic or glass can be used to make PRF tubing. The material is not mixed to ensure the FRP material is not contaminated. S-PRF and -PRF+ use plastic tubes, while A-PRF uses glass tubes. The shape of the tubes is important because they are intended for use in a centrifuge. The architecture ensures that the PRF network scales gradually as it rotates.
Depending on the process, these tubes come in different sizes. While the A-PRF and S-PRF tubes have a capacity of 10 mL, the I-PRF+ tube has a capacity of 13 mL. All tubes are designed to be non-toxic and non-pyrogenic, regardless of the desired process.
The Classification of PRF Tubes:
1. A-PRF:
The A-PRF procedure is useful for creating clots, membranes, or plugs for sinus lifts, bone grafts, extractions, implants, periodontics, and general wound healing. A-PRF 10ml Red Blood Preparation and Collection Tubes are made of glass with no additives. When used with butterfly blood collection needles, these PRF tubes are designed to provide an effective suction effect, enabling rapid blood collection. Each tube is individually wrapped and sterile.
2. I-PRF:
The I-PRF+ protocol was created as an injectable protocol for orthopedic, cosmetic, and general operations where the physician wishes to transfer beneficial platelets and growth factors to a treatment site. -PRP+ Purple Tubes are made of surgical plastic without additives. At 13 mL, the volume is slightly larger than other tubes, including the A-PRF tube.
3. S-PRF:
PRF is the ideal diet for bone grafting procedures. Adding PRF to a graft site can improve healing and promote the development of a cellular matrix that will serve as a structural and nutritional support system for new bone growth. Using a unique S-PRF protocol, "sticky bone" can be created by mixing viscous autologous material with particulate bone graft material. This material is easy to work with, making it suitable for office procedures.
Conclusion:
PRF tubes are used to store blood. These are widely used in hospitals. In the above article, we have discussed PRF Tubes and their types. So next time you look for surgical tubes, ensure the quality is high on standards and worth on what purpose you have them.
