What Makes PRP and PRF Unique?

The fundamental difference between PRP and PRF is very simple. The prp, the platelets have been more or less paralyzed by an additive to the tube. Usually it's called sodium citrate or something similar. And that keeps the platelets from degranulating or releasing their growth factors. And that's the most common way that the PRP PRF world works, because it's very simple and it's got a long work time. In fact, when you draw the platelet rich plasma up, it's actually stable for a long time, like a week or so. So there's no hurry to use it. Historically, PRF was either taking that PRP and activ it by reversing the anticoagulant. That's one way, and that's causes some damage to the platelets. And another way is use it immediately after you draw it. And it created some problems.
