ACD (Acid Citrate Dextrose) is a solution that is used to preserve the platelets in the PRP tube. This is important because platelets are sensitive to changes in pH and temperature, and ACD helps to maintain the integrity of the platelets so they can be used effectively in the treatment. It also helps in preventing bacterial contamination.

Biotin is a Vitamin B7 that is often added to PRP tubes to improve the activity of platelets. Biotin has been shown to improve the quality of platelets and increase the release of growth factors that are important for healing and tissue regeneration. These growth factors include the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta), and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF).

PRP tube with ACD and Biotin is used in various medical fields such as orthopedics, plastic surgery, dental surgery, and urology. It is used for treating musculoskeletal injuries, tendonitis, ligament sprains, and chronic pain conditions. In plastic surgery, it is used for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and wound healing. In dental surgery, it is used for bone regeneration, socket preservation, and periodontal surgery. In urology, it is used for treating Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction.

The procedure for PRP therapy with ACD and Biotin is a simple one. A small sample of blood is taken from the patient and placed in a PRP tube. The tube is then centrifuged to separate the platelets and plasma from the red blood cells. The concentrated platelets and plasma are then mixed with ACD and Biotin. The mixture is then used in the treatment.

PRP therapy with ACD and Biotin is generally considered safe and effective, with minimal side effects. The most common side effects include pain, swelling, and redness at the site of the injection. These side effects usually resolve within a few days.
