What is PRGF®

AUTOLOGOUS TECHNOLOGY

Plasma rich in growth factors is obtained from the patient’s own blood. Growth factors are proteins that are naturally found in the blood plasma and inside platelets. These growth factors are involved in the processes related to tissue regeneration. By applying plasma rich in growth factors it is possible to reactivate and increase the natural repair activity of the ocular surface with the subsequent therapeutic benefits in diverse ocular pathologies.

BENEFITS OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF PLASMA RICH IN GROWTH FACTORS

The ability of plasma rich in growth factors to activate tissue regeneration counteracts the functional deficits of the eye, improving the structure and lubrication of the ocular surface.

TREATMENT – HOW AND WHEN IS THIS TECHNIQUE APPLIED?

Treatment using eye drops with plasma rich in growth factors is recommended for patients with moderate to severe dry eye and other pathologies linked to defects of the tissues that comprise the ocular surface.

Therapeutic Process

  • Extraction of blood from the patient
  • Concentration of platelets
  • Separation of the fraction of plasma rich in growth factors
  • Preparation and dispensing of the eye drops

Results after applying the eye drops

  • Increase in the quality of the ocular surface tissues
  • Improved ocular lubrication
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Reduced pain
  • Reduction of symptoms
  • Reduction in the use of corticosteroids and cyclosporine

Treatment duration

  • Each tray of 32 dispensers is intended for a treatment of 3 months. During this time, the pack is stored in the freezer (-20OC).
  • Use eye drops as recommended by your Eye Care Professional. Using more than recommended will not increase the results of using this product.
  • The treatment can be extended in cycles of three months with the recommendation and monitoring of the Eye Care Professional.

Note: Carefully follow guidelines indicated by your doctor. Do not modify the dosage yourself. Continue the therapy for the whole treatment period indicated by your doctor.

ADVANTAGES OF THE TREATMENT APPLICATION

  • The eye drops are applied with a dispenser that can be used for three days and can be kept at ambient temperature and that, once open, preserve the growth factors and biologically active proteins.
  • The eye drops are transported in a practical dispenser that is fully watertight and resistant.
  • All of these advantages enable the eye drops with plasma rich in growth factors to be used anywhere at any time.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR ENDORET® APPOINTMENT

Here is some important information:

  • DAY BEFORE AND DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:
    • Drink plenty of fluids the day before and the day of your appointment
    • Include fatty foods in your meals
    • Doing this will help optimize the amount of blood the nurse will be able to obtain from you
  • WHEN YOU ARRIVE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT: The nurse will:
    • Draw 8 vials of your blood
    • Ask you to wait for about 10 minutes while the blood goes through the first step of processing
    • Confirm the blood sample is sufficient to continue processing
    • Ask you to return in 3-5 hours or will communicate via text or phone when your droppers are ready to be picked up
  • USAGE:
    • Use only as prescribed by your Eye Care Professional
    • If you need additional symptom relief between doses, use a Preservative-Free Artificial Tear

Note: You will receive up to 32 droppers of plasma. We say up to 32 droppers becuase the number of droppers generated is dependent upon how much blood and plasma can be obtained. The majority of patients will receive 32 droppers, but every patient is different. If 32 droppers cannot be generated from your blood draw, the cost of $800.00 remains the same.
