Platelets naturally release their growth factors slowly and in a timed-release manner to assist healing. However, there are times when a physician needs all growth factors contained in platelets to be immediately available to the area to prompt faster healing. Additionally, there are areas of the body where using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) may cause too much inflammation. Platelet Lysate is then created as a solution by cracking open these platelets to allow all of the growth factors to be immediately released into the body.
