Abstract
Objective To present an innovative device that applies the double centrifugation method to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP), assessing whether there was an effective increase in the concentration of platelets. Method Ten volunteers underwent blood collection. The samples were separated in 20 ml syringes, sealed and subjected to the double centrifugation protocol at 1,100 revolutions per minute (rpm) for 15 minutes, resulting in the separation of red blood cells, plasma with platelets, and leukocytes. Then, 10 ml syringes were added to remove 9 ml, respecting the "buffy coat" parameter, collecting 8 ml above and 1 ml below for the second centrifugation and transferring again to the 20 ml syringe. The plasma was again centrifuged at 1,550 rpm for 10 minutes; as a result, it was divided into two parts: at the top, consisting of low platelet plasma (LPP), and at the bottom, by the platelet button. Part of the LPP was discarded, leaving only 3 ml with the platelet button. The cells were then counted. Results This innovative device was able to increase the concentration of platelets by almost three times compared with the baseline. In addition, the preparation time for the PRP was adequate, lasting only 35 to 40 minutes. Conclusions Platelet-rich plasma was successfully obtained by the double centrifuge protocol, allowing its clinical use. In addition, obtaining through the presented device promotes greater applicability in the preparation of PRP in specific centers, furthermore, being a quick and economical way to obtain PRP.
