Protection against proteolytic degradation

The uniqueness of Vivostat PRF® is largely dependent on the effect and stability of the growth factors contained in the PRF® solution. Controlling the release of platelet contents over several days requires not only a delivery media but also protection of the platelets against degradation.

The autologous fibrin matrix in Vivostat PRF® protects endogenous growth factors against proteolytic degradation and thereby preserves their biological activity
