PRP for dogs, horses and pets
Quality Safety Efficacy
This fully closed, sterile system uses a unique cell-selector gel to retain and concentrate platelets whilst removing >99 % of red blood cells and preferentially removing > 94% of pro- inflammatory granulocytes – all in a single 5 minute spin.
Vet-PRP prepares high quality PRP from a low volume of blood and without the need for multiple complex manipulations.
The cell-selector gel ensures reliable, operator- independent recovery of both high and low density platelets and conservation of plasma proteins to provide an optimal PRP composition.
VET-PRP is a point of care system providing easy, rapid and consistent preparation of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) with an optimal cellular profile.
What is PRP?
A concentrated suspension of platelets in plasma, derived from the patient’s own blood, providing an autologous reservoir of growth factors, plasma proteins and nutrients.
Platelets settling within a fibrin scaffold
Platelets play a key role in tissue repair, mediating the body’s healing response to injury. They provide essential growth factors which stimulate stem cell activity, new extracellular matrix deposition and neo-vascularisation.
Plasma contains many factors and proteins essential for cell survival, including vital proteins that activate the coagulation cascade to form a fibrin clot that acts as the scaffold for new tissue generation.
A growing body of evidence in human and veterinary medicine supports the use of PRP for soft tissue injuries, skin wounds and in treatment protocols for Osteoarthritis (OA).
Vet-PRP and Vet-PRP-HA
Vet-PRP kits provide a fully-closed sterile system, to prepare high quality, leucocyte reduced PRP.
The autologous PRP kits contain Vet-PRP tubes and accessories for blood collection and PRP recovery. The Vet-PRP tubes are made of pharmaceutical grade glass with a vacuum for automated blood collection. These tubes contain a sodium citrate anticoagulant solution and a separating gel which separates plasma and platelets from the unwanted blood cells - to produce PRP with an optimal composition.
The Vet-PRP system also offers kits to prepare a cellular matrix of PRP combined with hyaluronic acid (Vet PRP – HA) and a “PRP gel” system, which can create a gel bandage or a PRP fibrin plug to enhance repair in the treatment of complex wounds.
Vet PRP-HA
Breaking the vicious cycle of osteoarthritis
The Vet PRP-HA technology synergistically combines the clinical benefits of HA (Hyaluronic Acid) and Vet- PRP® for pets and horses suffering from osteoarthritis.
When PRP and HA are used in combination, HA creates a bioactive scaffold within which platelets will settle, where they slowly and progressively release their growth factors, providing a longer duration of effect.
HA is also a major component of synovial fluid contributing to joint homeostasis, visco-supplementation and pain relief in OA.
Vet PRP-Plus
Vet-PRP can be mixed with Autologous Thrombin Serum using a number of different protocols, to form a platelet-rich autologous gel or a platelet-rich matrix for use in post surgical wound healing and general wound care including ulcers, burns and fistulas.

Preparation of Vet-PRP in 4 simple steps
Easy, rapid and consistent preparation of PRP with an optimal cellular profile
Step 1:
Collect 10 ml blood into the Vet-PRP sterile single-use tube using the butterfly needle connector provided.
Step 2:
Spin for 5 minutes using the Vet PRP compact centrifuge.
Step 3:
Invert the tube gently 18-20 times to fully suspend the platelets evenly throughout the plasma.
Step 4:
Remove the PRP directly into a 5 ml syringe using the transfer device provided. The PRP is now ready to inject into your patient.
