Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin
Platelets play a critical role in wound healing. Dr. Maranon utilizes Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) as an adjunct in many of his surgical procedures.
In the process, a patient’s own platelets are concentrated in a centrifuge. These platelets contain viable cells and biologic mediators that include growth factors and cytokines that are beneficial and accelerate healing.
Obtaining L-PRF does not require any artificial biochemical modification and no foreign substances are added in the process.
