When you receive platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin, Dr. Colin Galbraith will use an in-office centrifuge to prepare your treatment before you receive it. This centrifuge allows us to create your PRP quickly in-office so you can receive the care you need without any waiting time. To learn more about centrifuge in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, with our dentist and to schedule an appointment, call Roaring Fork Oral Surgery and Dental Implants today at 970-945-9644.
When you receive PRP or PRF, our dentist will take a small amount of your blood. The centrifuge is then used to isolate the proteins containing growth factors, separating them out so the PRP can be applied and used to aid in your body’s natural healing process.
A centrifuge is a valuable piece of medical and laboratory equipment. It works by rotating at rapid speeds to separate the contents of substances based on their density. While most substances will naturally separate given enough time, the rapid spinning of the centrifuge speeds up the process, separating out the plasma from the red blood cells so that our dentist can access the platelet-rich growth factors needed for your treatment.
