✅ 30 and 60 ml disposable procedure packs available that include your venipuncture supplies, an anticoagulant, a container called a process disposable, that has a white and red port, and the appropriate syringes and needles needed for the blood draw and the PRP preparation (one must include a spacer).
✅ A Centrifuge onsite to spin the patients blood, separating the platelet rich plasma from the whole blood.
✅ Reusable 30 and 60 balance weights for the centrifuge.
✅ Make sure that the out of pocket cost of the procedure is available to your patient (Insurance does not typically cover PRP injections).
✅ A signed consent form from your patient after fully explaining the procedure along with the cost, risks, and benefits associated with it
✅ Ensure that the patient has been informed that they are not allowed to take anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID’s) for 7 days prior to procedure and 14 days after the procedure.
✅ A trained physician to administer the PRP injection and perform tendon fenestration if needed.
✅ An assistant, such as a sonographer, to help setup and guide the procedure.
✅ A nurse or phlebotomist available to draw the patient’s blood on the day of the procedure.
✅ Post procedure instructions for the patient after the procedure is complete.
