Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Platelet growth factors are known for their ability to speed up tissue healing (bone, skin, tendons, muscle). Various techniques make it possible to collect this platelet-rich plasma or PRP. METHODS: This study compares the platelet concentrations obtained from five patients using GPS™ III, which has recently come onto the market, with those obtained using GPS™ II. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We obtain a platelet concentration that is six to nine times greater with GPS ™ II and GPS™ III, but there is no significant difference between the concentrations of PRP obtained with the two systems.
