PRP glass tube 10 ml ( ACD+Gel)

When making high-quality platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a tube that contains both a separation gel and ACD (acid citrate dextrose) has numerous important advantages. The functions of each part and their combined benefits are broken out as follows:

The function of acid citrate dextrose, or ACD
ACD has strong anticoagulant properties. Its main purpose is to keep the patient’s blood from clotting after it has been extracted. It functions by binding to, or chelating, calcium ions, which are necessary for the coagulation cascade to take place.

Preserves Platelet Viability: ACD keeps platelets in their normal, functioning state by inhibiting clotting. This is important because the vital growth factors are lost before the patient receives PRP if platelets are stimulated too soon and degranulate (release their contents).

Preserves Platelet Structure: ACD aids in preserving the platelets’ structural integrity, which is essential for their efficient operation after injection.

The Separation Gel’s Function
Red blood cells (RBCs) and other heavy cells are lighter than the gel, which is an inert, thixotropic polymer that is heavier than plasma.

Effective Separation: The gel travels to the center of the tube during centrifugation, creating a solid physical barrier between the heavier red blood cells and leukocytes at the bottom and the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on top.

High Purity PRP: This barrier guarantees that red blood cells and other undesirable substances will not contaminate the PRP result.

Advantages of ACD and Gel Tubes Together
An efficient and very successful PRP therapy option is to use a PRP tube with both ACD and a gel. The main advantages consist of:

• Simplified Workflow: The process is made simpler by combining the separator and anticoagulant in a single tube. All that is required of the clinician is blood collection, tube centrifugation, and PRP extraction. For clinical settings where time is of the essence, this expedites and streamlines the process.
• Superior PRP: The tubes are made to provide a pure plasma solution with a high concentration of viable platelets. In order to maximize the PRP’s therapeutic potential, ACD inhibits premature activation and the gel guarantees a clean separation.
• Decreased Contamination: Unlike tubes without a separation gel, the gel barrier greatly lowers the possibility of leukocyte and red blood cell contamination in the finished PRP product.
• User-Friendliness: These tubes are a popular option for a variety of medical and cosmetic applications, such as sports medicine, orthopedics, dermatology, and hair restoration, due to their simplicity of use and reliable outcomes.
