What is a PRF Centrifuge and why do we need it?

 PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin. It is a complex fibrin matrix laden with autologous platelets and leukocytes that enhances the regenerative healing process of the hard and soft tissues in our body. A-PRF is the storehouse of growth factors and cells that aids in our healing process. The PRF Centrifuge is a medical level device that can concentrate smart platelets using the low-speed centrifuge concept. The PRF Centrifuge is one of that equipment that is popular for its medical, dental, and maxillofacial use.  Presently, the PRF technique is majorly in demand in the field of dentistry, where it is efficient in: Bone grafting Periodontoplogy Sinus floor lift and augmentation Extraction socket preservation Stimulating healing after surgeries;  How does the PRF Centrifuge work? The PRF Centrifuge can effectively separate blood cells and blood platelets using vacuum and rotation. The platelets can be collected in 10, 15 and 50ML vials kept horizontally. It is easy to use and has a gr

How materials like Helimend advanced membrane help in dental procedures?

  Regenerative dental procedures can be as good as the dentist’s skill. It also depends on the type of material used. Operations like guided bone regeneration (GBR) require a high level of precision-based skills by the dental surgeon. It also needs a quality membrane that ensures total success in the procedure. Fixing issues with bones in the mouth area needs a barrier membrane. It properly guides the development of bone and tissue as expected. The use of a non-resorbable membrane is used. But we also have the modern-day resorbable options like the  Helimend advanced membrane . They are fast coming up as great ways to guide bone growth around the teeth.  No wonder that such materials are actually revolutionizing the way GBR procedures for teeth are carried out worldwide. Why resorbable membranes are a good idea for GBR? Such resorbable materials are proven to have high tensile strength. They also aid in bone regeneration. One of their fundamental properties is its ability to bind the c
