When it comes to pain treatment, people often first think of painkillers, acupuncture, or surgery. However, a therapy that uses one's own blood components to achieve "self-repair" is being accepted by more and more people — it is PRP therapy. What kinds of pain can this "high-tech" technology treat? And what makes it special?
The full name of PRP is "Platelet-Rich Plasma". Simply put, it is plasma with a high concentration of platelets extracted from the patient's own blood. Our blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Among them, platelets not only can stop bleeding but also are rich in various "growth factors" — these substances are like "repair signal soldiers", which can awaken the stem cells in the body, promote tissue regeneration, and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. The entire process can be called "fully autologous with zero rejection": and because it is derived from the body itself, its safety is higher than that of exogenous drugs.

PRP is particularly effective for pain caused by chronic soft tissue injuries and degenerative diseases, and is especially suitable for the following scenarios:
1. Joint pain: Cartilage wear and synovitis  
Large joints such as the knee, hip, and shoulder are particularly prone to these issues. Long-term wear and tear, trauma, or aging can cause cartilage to thin and synovium to become inflamed, leading to symptoms like joint swelling, stabbing pain when going up and down stairs, and limited mobility. Conventional medications only provide temporary pain relief, but when PRP is injected into the joint cavity, its growth factors can stimulate the regeneration of chondrocytes and reduce synovial inflammation, improving joint function at the source.
2. Tendon and ligament injuries: Tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis  
Tendons and ligaments are prone to chronic injuries due to repeated strain and overuse, such as "tennis elbow" and "Achilles tendinitis", which are characterized by stabbing pain during movement and weakness when exerting force. These types of injuries have poor blood supply and weak self-repair ability, so traditional treatments take effect slowly.
3. Chronic low back pain: Intervertebral disc and myofascial issues  
Prolonged sitting and poor posture can lead to lumbar disc degeneration and aseptic inflammation of the psoas fascia, causing recurrent low back pain. When medications and physical therapy are ineffective, PRP injections into the paravertebral muscles or around the intervertebral discs can relieve muscle spasms and pain by inhibiting inflammation and promoting local blood circulation. It is particularly suitable for chronic patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery.
4. Wound healing: Refractory wounds
For long-term non-healing wounds such as diabetic feet and bedsores, the growth factors in PRP can stimulate angiogenesis and granulation tissue growth, accelerate wound closure, and reduce the risk of infection.

Number of treatments: Depending on the severity of the injury, 1-3 treatments are generally required, with an interval of 2-4 weeks between each treatment. Most people start to feel pain relief 2-4 weeks after the first treatment.

Post-treatment care: Keep the injection site dry within 24 hours; avoid strenuous exercise or weight-bearing within a week to allow time for tissue repair; there is no need to take special medications, just avoid overexertion.

People not suitable for the treatment: Those with platelet dysfunction, severe anemia, abnormal blood coagulation, acute local infection, as well as pregnant women, are not recommended to receive PRP treatment.

Advantages of PRP: Why are more and more people choosing it?

High safety: Extracted from autologous blood, there is no immune rejection, and side effects are extremely rare (a small number of people may experience temporary swelling at the injection site).

Long-term benefits: By promoting tissue regeneration, it reduces recurrent pain, and is especially suitable for patients who wish to avoid long-term medication or surgery.

PRP therapy provides chronic pain patients with a new option of "healing themselves with their own strength".

The Shuangwei Biotechnology PRP kit has the following advantages:

- High degree of automation: The preparation and extraction process is fully automated. It is composed of a disposable platelet-rich plasma preparation kit and a medical centrifuge, achieving "one-time centrifugation, one-stop sealing, and one-click preparation", reducing manual operation errors and improving the preparation efficiency and accuracy.

- Completely closed and pollution-free: The separation and extraction process is completely closed, effectively avoiding external pollution, reducing the risk of infection, and ensuring the quality, safety and reliability of the prepared PRP.

- Convenient operation: The PRP with the required concentration can be obtained only through one-time centrifugation. The whole preparation process only takes 15 minutes, which greatly shortens the preparation time and improves the clinical work efficiency.

- Precise and adjustable concentration: Through mode selection, the concentration can be precisely adjusted from 2 to 8 times. It can provide personalized PRP concentrations according to the conditions and treatment needs of different patients to achieve the best treatment effect.

- Adjustable components: Consumables can be optionally configured to prepare leukocyte PRP or complex leukocyte PRP, realizing the adjustability of PRP components and further meeting the needs of different clinical application scenarios.
