Platelets
• Platelets derived from megokaryocytes
• Important in Hemostasis/Clotting
• Platelets are normally activated during the
inflammatory phase to begin healing
• Role in the normal healing response via the
secrection of local growth factors
• Growth factors released by platelets recruit
reparative cells and augment soft-tissue repair
What Is PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that has
been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated
source of autologous platelets, PRP contains (and
releases through degranulation) several different
growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate
healing of bone and soft tissue.
