Abstract
The present invention discloses a sterile PRP separation kit that has compartmentalized container having a cover that allows for a stage-specific exposure of sterile components of the sterile PRP separation kit housed within stage-specific compartments to a non-sterile environment commensurate with a specific stage of operation of a separation process of PRP. The sterile PRP separation kit includes a PRP tube with segregated portals for injection of blood into the PRP tube, aspiration of PRP from the PRP tube, and for maintaining an interior pressure of the PRP tube at equilibrium with ambient pressure during both injection and aspiration.
Claims17
A sterile platelet rich plasma (PRP) separation kit comprising:
- a compartmentalized container having a cover that allows for a stage-specific exposure of sterile components of the sterile PRP separation kit housed within stage-specific compartments to a non-sterile environment commensurate with a specific stage of operation of a separation process of PRP;
- the cover is detachably secured to top surfaces of stage separation walls of stage specific compartments of the compartmentalized container to ensure stage-specific isolation and stage-specific exposure of sterile components;
- a first stage that includes a first set of sterile components housed within a first set of compartments and exposed only when and for aseptic collection of blood while a second stage and a third stage remain unexposed to the non-sterile environment;
- with the first set of sterile components comprising:
- a first stage syringe;
- a first stage needle;
- and
- a winged infusion set;
- the second stage that includes a second set of sterile components housed within a second set of compartments and exposed only when and for filling in a PRP tube with aseptically collected blood from the first stage while the third stage remains unexposed to the non-sterile environment;
- with the second set of sterile components comprising:
- the PRP tube;
- and
- the second stage needle that is connected to the first stage syringe for injecting the aseptically collected blood into the PRP tube for separation of PRP;
- a third stage that includes a third set of sterile components housed within a third set of compartments and exposed only when and for aspirating the PRP from the PRP tubes of the second stage;
- with the third set of sterile components comprising:
- a lateral aspiration spinal needle;
- a third stage syringe with a third stage needle;
- and
- a syringe cap.
A sterile platelet rich plasma (PRP) separation kit, comprising:
- a compartmentalized container having a cover that allows for a stage-specific exposure of sterile components of the sterile PRP separation kit housed within stage-specific compartments to a non-sterile environment commensurate with a specific stage of operation of a separation process of PRP
- the cover is detachably secured to top surfaces of stage separation walls of stage specific compartments of the compartmentalized container to ensure stage-specific isolation and stage-specific exposure of sterile components;
- a first stage for aseptic collection of blood;
- a second stage for separation of PRP within a PRP tube;
- and
- a third stage for aspirating the PRP from the PRP tube of the second stage;
- wherein:
- the PRP tube is comprised of:
- segregated openings that include:
- a first opening for injection of blood into the PRP tube;
- a second opening for aspiration of PRP from the PRP tube;
- and
- a third opening for maintaining an interior pressure of the PRP tube at equilibrium with ambient pressure.
