Platelet Lysate is a complex mixture of growth factors and proteins that are extracted from platelets by lysing or breaking down the plasma membrane.
Platelets contain alpha granules, which house growth factors. When a platelet is disrupted, the growth factors are immediately released instead of gradually over time. This means that Platelet Lysate (PL) can deliver a higher concentration of growth factors quicker compared to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). This is similar to the differences between an immediate-release pill, which quickly releases medication and a sustained-release pill, which releases medication gradually over an extended period.
The flexibility of the Regenexx lab platform enables providers to tailor regenerative orthopedic treatments precisely to each patient’s requirements, making Platelet Lysate a treatment option for enhancing regenerative therapeutic outcomes.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treats mild arthritis in joints, ligament tears or small tendons. In contrast, Platelet Lysate (PL) has advantageous properties for nerve-related treatments. This makes it particularly valuable in addressing irritated nerves associated with conditions such as disc bulges in the neck and back. PL is also beneficial for managing nerve-related issues like carpal tunnel syndrome. To observe the application of Regenexx-PL in such cases, watch the video below demonstrating a precision ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection.
