Project description
Topical application of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated sample of a patient’s own platelets. It has been found to significantly enhance the healing process when injected locally after muscle or tendon strain and to successfully treat arthritis-related pain; it is also increasingly being used for cosmetics purposes. The EU-funded TPRPK project has developed a novel device for PRP administration in dermatology to treat various skin conditions. The device stores PRP for a week at room temperature, and in combination with a collagen-based serum it offers a mixture that is then applied to the skin to aid rejuvenation. The proposed approach overcomes the need for painful injections and can be used topically to treat conditions such as eczema.
Objective
PpSC and its forthcoming product: Platelet-rich plasma Kit® (TPRPK) is being developed to exploit the massive potential for painless & cost efficient procedures available to patients with various skin conditions and global Facial rejuvenation sector. The key innovations with TPRPK platform are increased lifespan of platelet-rich plasma and none invasive topical application instead of multiple painful injections. In addi-tion, the IP protected PRP storage device and how one feeds into the other. PpSC will initially focus on healing and rejuvenation of the injured tissues along with a calculation of resources reductions achieved through the process. It is envisaged that the PpSC will scale its TPRPK operations across healthcare and cosmetic sectors worldwide in due course.
