Full Description
This comprehensive guide dives deep into the science behind platelet rich plasma (PRP), its preparation, and its diverse applications in treating various conditions across different animal species. Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing field in veterinary medicine, offering new possibilities for treating conditions that were previously difficult or impossible to manage. PRP is a readily available therapy with a wide range of applications.
The present work covers orthopaedics, wound healing, equine and small animal medicine, and more. It also discusses the synergistic effects of combining PRP with other regenerative medicine strategies, such as stem cell therapy and biomaterials, and concludes with regulatory considerations and future directions.
This book provides veterinary practitioners, researchers, and industry professionals with the knowledge needed to effectively utilise PRP in clinical practice and research, ultimately improving animal health and welfare. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and implement this promising therapeutic modality, including veterinary universities as well as veterinary pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies developing PRP-based therapies.
