Abstract
Methods are described for using compositions containing platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of a variety of tissue lesions. Particularly, delivery of platelet-rich plasma to connective tissue is described. The described method and compositions have been shown to provide both pain relief and improved mobility in treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
Claims15
A method of treating an injured tissue in an individual comprising:
- determining a site of tissue injury in the individual;
- and
- introducing a platelet-rich plasma composition into and around the site of tissue injury.
A platelet-rich plasma composition for the treatment of an injured tissue comprising:
- platelet-rich plasma;
- and
- a pH adjusting agent,
- wherein the platelet-rich plasma composition does not contain an activator of the platelet-rich plasma.
1 more element
A method of making a platelet-rich plasma composition comprising the steps of:
- drawing blood from an individual;
- obtaining a plasma fraction from the blood;
- isolating platelets from the plasma fraction;
- resuspending the platelets in a reduced amount of plasma;
- and
- adjusting the pH to provide a pH of 7.3 to 7.5 for the resuspended platelets to provide a platelet-rich plasma composition,
- wherein an activator of the platelet-rich plasma is not added to the platelet-rich plasma composition.
