Understanding Platelet Rich Fibrin (With CE's)

Dr. Rick Miron
2 CE Credits
Course Duration: 1.5 hours
The use of platelet concentrates has had a long-history of use in various fields of medicine as an autologous source of growth factors fabricated utilizing centrifugation of blood under various conditions. While platelet rich plasma (PRP) was proposed as a first-generation platelet concentrate over 3 decades ago, over the past 10 years, platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has seen a steady increase in utilization for a variety of medical procedures due to its lack of anti-coagulation factors favoring fibrin clot formation and faster wound healing. This talk aims to highlight the recent advancements made with respect to the newest formulations of platelet concentrates including recent developments in horizontal centrifugation. Furthermore an understanding of cell layer separation will be presented to further optimize liquid PRF when compared to traditional injectable-PRF protocols. Thereafter, the Bio-Heat technology will be presented with an ability to extend the working properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks towards several months.
In this course you will learn:
Optimization of protocols for any centrifugation device
Update on Bio-Heat technology and the ability to extend the working properties of PRF from 2-3 weeks to 4-6 months
Importance of PRF tubes for the fabrication of PRF
