Phlebotomy techniques and the process of creating BC-PRP and PRF

Learn evidence-based science of blood concentrates for use in all surgical procedures.

This interactive presentation is designed for Dental Teams who want to improve clinical outcomes in their surgical practice. Participants will not only understand the uses of both liquid (Buffy-Coat PRP “BC-PRP”) and solid blood concentrates (Platelet Rich Plasma, “PRF”), but also learn detailed step-by-step techniques for preparing and applying the protocols during surgical procedures. The dental staff can take the lead on this technology and perform the processing steps, leaving the clinician to focus on the surgical procedure.
