Below are 5 key facts we think every pet owner should know about PUREVET PRP Therapy.

PRP utilizes your pet’s own healing factors

Whenever you get a cut, it scabs over and the injury eventually heals. This is due to our blood circulating platelets and growth factors throughout our bodies seeking out wounds to heal. PRP therapy is an approach that concentrates and targets these platelets and growth factors to areas of need. 

PRP is a nonsurgical form of regenerative medicine therapy

PUREVET PRP developed by Ardent is a simple procedure that takes a small amount of blood from your pet. Your veterinarian will then concentrate the growth factors and platelets in your pet’s blood and then inject it back into your pet where they are experiencing pain or inflammation. The growth factors are then immediately put to work in aiding your pet’s body in alleviating their symptoms. 

PRP is a same-day procedure

Ardent has provided its partner clinics with the kits and technology infrastructure for all of the PRP procedure to be done in-house. Your pet’s platelets and growth factors are concentrated from the removed blood sample using Ardent’s proprietary centrifuge and kit, and is then reintroduced back into your pet where it is needed.
