PRFM(Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix) Injections
Injection made up of concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. Your platelets contain growth factors which help heal damaged tissue. Great for plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinitis, chronic foot pain, and non healing fractures.
FAQs
WHAT IS PLASMA RICH FIBRIN MATRIX?
So PRP is blood plasma with concentrated platelets. Platelets contain growth factors and these growth factors are very important in healing of injuries. PRFM is then processed from PRP with the use of calcium chloride. This fibrin matrix acts as a scaffold to hold on the platelets at the site of treatment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Draw Blood (about 18 ml)
Load blood into a centrifuge to separate platelets
Inject into injured area
