Platelet Rich Plasma in Equine Wound Treatment
Treatment of Animal Wounds 18 Slides, use the arrow keys to scroll When horses suffer serious leg injury some owners are inclined to put these animals down to prevent undue suffering and pain. Conventional treatment is often passive and hopeful. Rehabilitation is most times cost prohibitive and lengthy. Platelet Gel has offered new hope in the treatment of these prized animals, affording them the realistic goal of a quick and effective recovery at a cost effective price. Platelet Gel will ultimately save the lives of these horses.
Platelet Gel is applied to the wound of the equine patient via special applicator tips. The PRP, once activated, releases the growth factors and mediators needed to jump start the tissue and vascular regeneration, that is needed to heal the disastrous wounds of these animals. Horse veterinarians usually provide the dressing material that is needed to apply to the wound once the platelet gel has been applied. Two to three treatments of platelet gel can help save an animals life. |
