Arthrex PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to stimulate healing. It involves extracting a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and then injecting the concentrated PRP into an injured or damaged area.
This process aims to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities.
Here's a more detailed explanation

Repeating the same motion can strain tendons over time.

The blood is processed using a specialised Arthrex kit, which centrifuges the blood to separate and concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors.

The concentrated PRP is then injected into the specific area of injury or damage.

The growth factors in the PRP stimulate and accelerate the body's natural healing processes, leading to tissue repair and regeneration.
