Blood component separator
Technical Field
The invention relates to a medical instrument, in particular to a blood component separator.
Background
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is Platelet concentrate obtained by centrifugation of autologous whole blood, is used as a Platelet-rich plasma. PRP contains a large amount of growth factors and proteins and has high medical value, and platelet-rich plasma is plasma which is obtained by centrifuging whole blood of animals or humans and is rich in platelets at high concentration, and becomes a jelly after thrombin is added thereto, and thus is also called platelet-rich gel or platelet-rich leukocyte gel (PLG). PRP contains a large number of growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF- β), insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1), and the like.
In the prior art, in order to obtain platelet-rich plasma, whole blood is first placed in a centrifuge tube for centrifugal separation, so that the blood is basically divided into three layers: a blood cell layer, a leucocyte layer and a plasma layer; then, the upper plasma layer and the middle white membrane layer are taken out and transferred to another centrifuge tube for secondary centrifugal separation, and finally platelet-rich plasma is obtained. However, the separation method using the conventional blood separation apparatus has problems that the blood is easily contaminated and the number of processes is increased in the process of moving the blood to a different centrifugal separation container in the centrifugal process, and it is difficult to concentrate the platelets to a high concentration using the conventional blood separation apparatus.
