title: Platelet-rich plasma: harvesting with a single-spin centrifuge.
abstract: This paper discusses the results recently seen by practitioners who use platelet-rich plasma, as well as the practical considerations that they must make when considering whether to adapt their practice for its use. In this study, an average of a 358% increase in platelet concentration was achieved.
