How does Alocuro PRO-PRP compare with other manual PRP kits?
Superior PRP efficiency
Alocuro’s PRO-PRP device and preparation protocol has demonstrated outstanding performance in extracting, separating, and collecting PRP from patient’s blood with documented platelet concentration of up to a multiple of 12.8x platelet concentration above physiological baseline level, and a platelet recovery efficiency of 90-95%. This efficiency is significantly superior to other manual preparation PRP kits currently available in Australia.
Leukocyte-reduced and leukocyte-rich prp are achievable with Alocuro’s prp system
PRP ‘recipe’ can be customised to treatment application. Total PRP volume, ideal platelet concentration, leukocytes included or not.
Intact, non-activated Platelets for optimal release of growth factors upon injection
Apart from standard CPDA anti-coagulation, Alocuro PRP does not require the use of any foreign material e.g.: activation material, thixotropic separation gel to separate or activate the cellular components. This ensures that the patient is receiving a pure, unaltered by chemicals, autologous blood product, which optimises local healing and minimises the risk of reaction to and complications from the PRP injection. In-situ activation of platelets (injected platelets being exposed to collagen) is beneficial for stimulating a continuous healing response due to slower release of growth factors
Parameters that need to be included for comparative optimisation of PRP preparation protocols include:
the absolute number and concentration of platelets over baseline, should be at least 3X
the absolute number and concentration of leukocytes / WBC below baseline, should be physiological baseline (1X) or less
the absolute number and concentration of RBC below physiological baseline- should ideally be nil
the choice between exogenous pre-activation of platelets or not,
the number of injections or applications
and the delay between injections or applications
Need a PRP protocol that:
standardises the preparation of PRP
emphasis on overall preservation of platelets’ physiological properties until time of injection
reproducible in any clinical setting
cost-effective delivery of growth factors
