Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin(PRF), a second-generation of platelet concentrate with stereo fibrin structure, leukocyte and platelets, can release various cytokines and growth factors to promote wound healing. PRF has been widely used in the treatment of various acute and chronic wounds in traumatic surgery, plastic surgery and stomatology. Chronic wounds are common in traumatic surgery, but conventional treatment is often ineffective. Accumulating evidences have confirmed that PRF has excellent therapeutic effect on chronic wounds. According to various methods such as different specimen, centrifugation, centrifuge tube material, and freeze-drying, the researchers tried to improve the efficiency of PRF. The progress of platelet-rich fibrin preparation technology and preservation technology are reviewed in this paper.
Key words:
