How much does PRP cost in the USA? How much does a Stem Cell injection cost in the USA?
Is there an off the shelf regenerative medicine product with living cells that is legit in the USA?
Does a platelet rich plasma or bone marrow concentrate injection help with a rotator cuff repair surgery?
Here is a 10 minute review of the most recent clinical evidence!
A recent study published 4/2/24 looked at allogenic PRP versus placebo in a level 1 trial with about 40 patients in each group. The groups were followed for a year. The PRP created was too low dose to provide any significant conclusions on whether or not allogenic PRP could be useful for knee arthritis injections.
* Bench Test Of the Globus/Harvest Medical Smartprep3 60cc PRP Kit*
If you are in orthopedics at all you have heard of Globus Medical. Back in 2022, Globus expanded their Biologics with the acquisition of Terumo (Harvest PRP). They have 30cc and 60cc PRP kits and adipose and bone marrow concentrate products on the market. Some friends came by with a couple 60cc Smartprep3 PRP kits and we tested them in our lab setup.
The title of this just published paper needs to be changed to:
"Low or no dose PRP does not change outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair"
I would agree with that!
