The Advantages and Limitations of PRF Tubes

PRF tubes like A-PRF tubes and I-PRF+ tubes are designed to provide ease of use and excellent results when following Choukroun PRF protocols. Always insist on Choukroun tubes for the best patient outcomes. Here are examples of the advantages and limitations of these specialist blood collection and centrifuge processing tubes.

PRF Tubes are Color Coded

For ease of reference, PRF blood tubes are color coded.

It’s not a simple case of changing the color of the labels and tube tops. Each tube has subtle but critical design and manufacturing differences to suit the specific protocol. The color also corresponds with the settings on the centrifuge, helping to simplify the entire workflow.

A-PRF Tubes and Tubes for Other Protocols are Registered Medical Devices

Class II Medical Devices represent a significant number of the medical devices available today, ranging from contact lenses to blood transfusion devices. Class II devices are subject to both general and special controls by the FDA. To meet Class II compliance, devices have strict requirements for performance, labeling, clinical testing data, and ongoing post-market quality surveillance.

Choukroun tubes like A-PRF tubes are registered Class II Medical Devices, indicating that these devices comply with the highest possible quality standards. Whether buying tubes for A-PRF, I-PRF+, or S-PRF, clinicians can have confidence knowing that these tubes meet the highest industry and regulatory standards.

PRF Tubes Contain No Contaminants

Authorized Choukroun tubes are manufactured from medical-grade plastic or glass, depending on the protocol.

No matter the tubes used, there are no unnecessary additives in the material, ensuring that the final autologous product is safe for the patient. Tubes, whether glass or plastic, are also non-toxic and non-pyrogenic. High-quality tubes ensure that blood collection and processing is smooth and free of complication, with the highest standards of safety for the processed PRF.

There’s No Need to Use Additives with PRF Tubes

Blood tubes for PRF don’t require any additives to produce the final product. The entire PRF system is based on autologous blood collection and centrifuge processing. The centrifuge protocol is what determines the type of PRF that will be developed. The speed and duration are key, as is the texture of the surface inside the tube. For protocols that produce liquid for sticky bone and injection, the inside of the tube will be textured to prevent clotting.

Because PRF can be developed simply based on the tubes and centrifuge settings, there’s no need to use additives like anticoagulant materials when using authorized Dr. Choukroun tubes.

Tubes are Compatible with Blood Butterfly Collection Needles

Choukroun tubes are designed to provide an all-in-one solution from blood collection to preparation in the centrifuge. The tubes are compatible with convenient Dr. Choukroun Butterfly Blood Collection Needles (SKU: PRF-PRVT).

Blood butterfly needles are used throughout medical fields because they allow for quick collection of blood samples with minimal pain and irritation. Originally developed for older patients, clinicians found that they were effective for all types of patients. They produce less trauma and bruising when compared to other collection systems. PRF tubes for A-PRF, I-PRF+, and S-PRF can be used with butterfly needles and clinicians can expect a lower rate of blood breakdown, due to the efficiency and speed.

Tubes are Packaged Sterile and are Available in Bulk

PRF is a protocol that has been designed for convenience as much as it is for success in any given treatment. Autologous preparations are more cost-efficient, safe and biocompatible, and convenient to prepare. PRF tubes like A-PRF tubes are available in bulk and are packaged sterile so that they’re ready for blood collection and preparation in a centrifuge.

Are there Limitations to PRF Tubes?

The only real limitations of PRF tubes are that they’re designed for immediate use during the procedure and that the correct tube/color coding must be selected to suit the protocol. As an autologous product, PRF is not designed for storage. It is prepared during a procedure and applied at the treatment site before any unused material is discarded.

Tube selection is important. More than just colors, different tubes also have unique materials and textures that are suited to the protocol. So, for example, when creating A-PRF, only a red A-PRF tube should be selected.

PRF tubes should not be used for other types of autologous centrifuge protocols, like PRP (Platelet Rich Fibrin). They are designed specifically for PRF.
