Ortho | Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections promote healing after injury or surgery. The ACP Max™ Platelet-Rich Plasma System is a next-generation PRP device that allows doctors to take a larger blood draw, increasing platelet concentration and growth factors.

PRP injections are commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Sports injuries
• Post-surgical healing
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Chronic pain and inflammation

Overview of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are a cutting-edge treatment that promotes healing after injury or surgery. By utilizing the body’s own healing mechanisms, PRP injections enhance tissue repair and recovery.

Dr. Aaron Schwartz uses the ACP Max™ Platelet-Rich Plasma System for PRP injections. ACP Max is a next generation PRP technology device. It allows for a larger blood draw, resulting in increased platelet concentration and higher levels of growth factors. These enhanced PRP injections provide more effective healing for patients.

Benefits of PRP Injections with the ACP Max™ System

• Accelerated healing process
• Reduced recovery time after injury or surgery
• Enhanced tissue repair and regeneration
• Minimally invasive treatment option

During a PRP injection procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and processed using the ACP Max™ Platelet-Rich Plasma System. This system concentrates the platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into the injured or surgical site to promote healing.

Dr. Schwartz recommends the following video, shared courtesy of medical device company Arthrex, that illustrates how this unique system works.
