Chapter 6.1: Importance of PRF Tubes presented by Dr. Richard Miron

In this video, the importance of PRF tubes is presented. It is hard to imagine that the effect of centrifugation tubes may in fact be more relevant for the production of PRF than the actual centrifugation device. Unfortunately, the majority of tubes utilized for the production of PRF are not purposefully designed for PRF; they are generally laboratory test tubes utilized for lab testing, which have since beenbrought to market and utilized for human clinical applications (many without FDA/CE clearance). In a recent technical note on this topic, it was discovered that many PRF tubes are filled with chemical additives such as silica/silicone with unpredictable clinical outcomes.



Many clinicians have noted an increased variability in PRF clot sizes, a decreased rate of clot formation (PRF remains liquid even after an adequate protocol is followed), or even an increased rate in the clinical signs of inflammation following the use of PRF. This video addresses these more recent issues as well as the research under investigation to develop hydrophilic/hydrophobic chemical-free tubes for the production of PRF.
