Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the areas of use of PRP?
It can be used in orthopedics, dermatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, urology, plastic surgery, dentistry and after hair transplantation.
2. What is the difference between your PRP tubes and gel models? Are they better in terms of performance?
When gel tubes are centrifuged, platelets stick to the gel. Since it is difficult to separate platelets from the gel, gel tubes have lower performance.
3. What is the difference between us and hourglass-shaped PRP tubes like Dr. PRP?
Our product is no different from the hourglass model in terms of effectiveness. In terms of ease of use, the hourglass model is more advantageous than the doctor, PRP can be collected more easily. However, if the hourglass model is used, the centrifuge must also be suitable.
4. Are the tubes certified / approved in the country of sale?
Our PRP tubes have an EC Certificate. As Kaizen Endüstri, we maintain the certified ISO 13485:2016 Medical Devices Quality Management System.
5.What are the features that distinguish the tubes and kits you produce from other brands?
Sodium citrate 3.13% is used. Sodium citrate is obtained from the manufacturer with MSDS and analysis certificates. Therefore, the effectiveness of sodium citrate is superior to other companies. The holder, syringe and needles used in the kit are used from the world-famous BD brand.
6. At how many g and rpm should we centrifuge for how many minutes? What are your protocols?
7. Is the tube you sell compatible with my centrifuge?
Our tubes are 10 ml tubes. Therefore, if 10 ml tubes can be used in your centrifuge, it is compatible.
8. Why is there no extra empty tube (mixing tube) in the kits?
The resuspension tube has no effect on clinical efficacy and performance.
9. Do you have a DEPA score? Can you share it? Are you considering participating?
Our DEPA score has not been published based on scientific studies, but we can share the averages as a result of the tests we conducted within the company.
LP-PRP: Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma
LR-PRP: Leukocyte-Rich Platelet-Rich Plasma
10.How many tubes are used in one session of PRP treatment?
The amount of PRP obtained after centrifugation may vary from person to person. Therefore, the number of PRP tubes to be used in a session may also vary. In addition, the number of tubes may vary depending on which branch and how many areas the PRP will be used in. For example, the surface area of the hair, the area to be applied on the face, or the surface area to be used in orthopedics may affect this situation.
11.How many platelets do your PRP tubes save?
12. How many ml of PRP does it produce in total after centrifugation? (they ask this way because they think the PPP part is also PRP)
The amount of PRP obtained after centrifugation may vary from person to person. In our experiments, 3.2 ml to 5.6 ml of PRP was obtained.
13. In case of vacuum problems;
Our blood collection needle needs to be attached to the holder by screwing it in with a twisting motion. If this step is overlooked, we occasionally encounter vacuum issues, though this is rare. Apart from this, our tubes do not have any vacuum problems. If you can take a look at the 17th and 25th seconds of our application video, it will be more informative.
14. Is sterilization disrupted when the multi model is opened?
When the multi model is opened, the ETO sterilization that we provide for the external sterilization of the tube is disrupted, but the gamma sterilization that we apply for the internal sterilization of the tube is not disrupted.
15. What is the difference between blood tubes?
Regulation: Blood Tubes are under the IVDR (In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation) regulation, while PRP Tubes are evaluated under the MDD (Medical Device Directive) / MDR (Medical Device Regulation).
Intended Use: Blood Tubes are for testing and diagnosis purposes under the IVDR, while PRP Tubes are for treatment purposes under the MDR.
Clinical Application: Since Blood Tubes are used for testing and diagnosis purposes, they are designed to be used in a laboratory environment, there is no direct patient contact. In PRP Tubes, the plasma obtained is given back to the patient and used in clinical settings for treatment purposes.
Biocompatibility: Since blood tubes are not applied in the clinic, PRP tubes may also differ in terms of contact with the body and allergic reactions, toxicity or other biocompatibility tests.
