Platelet-Rich Plasma: PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a pain management therapy that uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

Which Ultrasound Scanner is best for Platelet-Rich Plasma?

The Mini Linear Handheld Wi-Fi Ultrasound Scanner MLCD tends to be the best choice for our Orthopedist clients. In which, it helps the doctor injects the platelets into the affected area, ensure accuracy, and decrease pain.

Ultrasound-guided injections allow the practitioner to visualize the needle in real-time as it enters the body and traverses to the desired location. This assures that the medication is accurately injected at the intended site.

Ultrasound-guidance is vital not only in detecting soft tissues but for guiding the injection but also for monitoring the patient’s pain development afterward. 

Despite good intentions, even in the most experienced hands, blind (injections performed without imaging) injections are not 100% accurate and in some joints, accuracy is as low as 30%-40%. With ultrasound guidance, the accuracy of nearly every joint injection exceeds 90% and approaches 100% in many. 

The ultrasound-guided PRP injection is a safe, cheap, and easily prepared outpatient procedure that shows competitive, promising, and well-proved results when compared to other modality outcomes such as conventional surgeries and physiotherapy.
