Building upon protocols that were developed over the past ten years for Platelet Rich Plasma harvesting, Mountain Medical Specialties has developed a protocol that has integrated frequency specific low level laser and frequency specific plasma fields in the activation of human blood plasma.  

The harvesting technique involves the following steps:

• Blood Collection:

     A sample of the patient’s blood is drawn using a standard blood drawing procedure, similar to having a routine blood test. The amount of blood taken is 60 milliliters.

• Centrifugation:

     The collected blood is then placed into a centrifuge. This machine spins the blood at high speed to separate its components based on their density. Centrifugation typically divides the blood into three layers: red blood cells (the heaviest component) settle at the bottom, platelet-poor plasma (PPP) rises to the top, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) forms as a concentrated layer in the middle.

• Activation:

     After centrifugation, the platelet-poor plasma (PPP) fraction and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) fraction (30 ml) are not further separated as is the routine procedure with PRP protocols.  The PPP and the PRP plasma are activated by exposing the 30 cc of plasma to a vibrating/vortexing mechanical vibration with a pulsed UV field for a specified time and then placed in a chamber exposing the plasma to a pulsed LLLT field and a pulsed plasma field for a specific period of time.

• Application:

     The 30 cc of activated plasma is then ready for application. It can be re-infused via the IV that was established for harvesting the blood and can be injected directly into the injured or treated area, applied topically, especially in combination with microneedling for cosmetic procedures, or used in surgical areas to promote healing.

• Sterile Procedure with no Additives or Chemicals:

     The PRP harvesting and application is performed by trained healthcare professionals. The procedure's specifics, including the centrifuge settings are not altered.  From the point of harvesting the blood to the return of the activated plasma to the patient via the IV site established for harvesting the blood, no materials, chemicals or drugs are added. All procedures are under sterile precautions and the harvested blood and plasma are contained in sterile syringes or centrifuge tubes.
