Alocuro provides medical devices, training and technical clinical support for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedures.

Platelet-Rich Plasma describes a portion of a patient’s blood that contains a high concentration of platelets within a small volume of plasma. Alocuro PRP equipment is latest technology and offers an excellent platelet collection efficiency - average of 90% with the ability to customise the platelet number, leukocyte number within the PRP for injection. Alocuro is a TGA listed, PRP kit supplier to radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, rheumatologists, pain medicine physicians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, general practitioners, dentists, aesthetic medicine doctors & registered nurses, nurse practitioners working under the professional supervision of an Alocuro trained medical practitioner.

Alocuro devices can provide a high platelet concentration of up to 9x baseline, with ability to reduce leukocytes to a very low leukocyte concentration of 0.15x baseline and extremely low neutrophil collection of 0.3% if required. Whilst not yet fully decided, it is thought that this type of PRP ‘recipe’ is ideal for joint injections to treat symptomatic osteoarthritis and for chronic tendon conditions.

For many PRP procedures, a platelet concentration of 3-6 x is used.

To protect patient safety, there is TGA legislation regulating PRP procedures within Australia. Alocuro PRP devices are listed on the ARTG register and they are approved by the TGA specifically for the purpose of manufacturing platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Alocuro system and protocols meet the current TGA regulations and the PRP produced is ‘regulated as blood components, but exempt from most regulation requirements when the Alocuro PRP procedures have medical practitioner professional supervision. This is because  Alocuro's system is a point-of-care therapy, involves minimal manipulation of patient's blood and the collected PRP is used as a homologous application.

Alocuro devices offer the latest technology for PRP kits available within Australia. All items required to manufacture a high platelet concentration and ‘pure’ PRP are provided

Regenerative Point-of-Care Autologous PRP Therapy

Regenerative medicine is a term to describe a range of innovative medical therapies that assists the patient to repair, restore and regenerate their damaged cells. The latest Platelet Rich Plasma technology is now available in Australia. Alocuro provides Point-of-Care, Autologous PRP therapy devices to medical and dental practitioners in accordance with current TGA guidelines.

Autologous means biologic tissue derived from the same patient who will benefit from it. The donor = the recipient. Autologous PRP simply means that the PRP extracted from the patient who the blood was taken from, will receive the PRP.

Point-of-Care therapy provides the whole procedure at the patient’s bedside in the medical practitioner’s office. No hospital or day surgery stays are required.

There is a limit to non-surgical options for treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and more chronic degenerative conditions. Often, when there is chronic damage to musculoskeletal structures, especially in avascular tissue, the body loses the ability to repair itself. Regenerative medicine changes that process and holds the potential to address acute injuries and chronic musculoskeletal ailments, including those associated with ageing. 

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is one area of regenerative medicine that has been proven to be beneficial in halting degenerative change and improve tissue regeneration in certain conditions. The treatment accelerates the body’s natural healing process by using the patient’s own platelets to promote healing of bone, tendon, cartilage, ligaments, muscle and skin tissue. It works by delivering powerful platelet-released growth factors that stimulate and improve blood supply to the injured area and the nutrients needed for cells to regenerate the damaged tissue.

Our vision has been to bring the best PRP kit combined with the most rigorous scientific and clinical protocols in the field of PRP therapy to Australia, to improve patient healing outcomes.

Alocuro is a medical and dental practitioner only range of PRP medical devices in accordance with TGA regulation of PRP. Practitioners who use Alocuro PRO-PRP devices have completed PRP manufacture and injection training in their specific PRP procedure areas.
