Advanced orthobiologic therapy
Joint, tendon & ligament repair
EmCyte platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses concentrated components of your own blood to support the healing of joints, tendons, ligaments and muscle.
What it is
EmCyte platelet-rich plasma
Platelet-rich plasma is produced from a small sample of your own blood, processed in a specialised centrifuge that separates and concentrates the healing components. Advanced EmCyte systems concentrate platelets to higher therapeutic levels while removing unwanted red blood cells.

How it may help
Supporting tissue repair
Regulation
Platelet signalling molecules may help modulate inflammatory responses in injured tissue.
Tissue stimulation
Growth factors released from platelets may support repair of tendon, ligament and cartilage tissue.
Matrix regeneration
PRP may assist the cells that rebuild structural proteins such as collagen.
The procedure
What happens during treatment
Step one
Blood sample
A small blood sample is collected from your arm.
Step two
Concentration
The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and regenerative cells.
Step three
Injection
