Introducing Choukroun’s Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) to the Reconstructive Surgery Milieu (JIACD - Sept 2009)

Contact Hours: 2
Price: $30.00

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), developed in France by Choukroun et al (2001), is a second generation platelet concentrate widely used to accelerate soft and hard tissue healing. Its advantages over the better known platelet-rich plasma (PRP) include ease of preparation/application, minimal expense, and lack of biochemical modification (no bovine thrombin or anticoagulant is required). PRF is a strictly autologous fibrin matrix containing a large quantity of platelet and leukocyte cytokines. This article serves as an introduction to the PRF “concept” and its potential clinical applications.

After reading this article, the reader should be able to:

  1. Discuss the science behind Platelet Rich Fibrin.
  2. Discuss how Platelet Rich Fibrin is prepared.
  3. Discuss how Platelet Rich Fibrin might enhance surgical healing.
