What it does
Platelets primed by light and cold.
Growth factor release
Photothermally boosted platelets release a higher amount of growth factors in a controlled and sustained way, for a more physiological effect.
Platelet performance
Photothermally stimulated plasma contains fewer pro-inflammatory cytokines and has a more physiological profile. It also improves the platelet activation profile, reducing VASP and increasing p38 phosphorylation. Cold primes platelets and facilitates their reactivity once injected.
Procedure comfort
Cold helps platelet kinetics after activation, not before, and induces a delay in clot formation. A less dense plasma and the sensation of the cold liquid result in a much more comfortable procedure.
ATP synthesis
Photothermal biomodulation boosts cellular metabolism and enhances ATP synthesis.
The technology
Photothermal biomodulation
Red light and controlled cold, applied to the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma inside the MCT Kit®.
Light · 620 nm
Photobiomodulation
Light provides a non-invasive, non-toxic way of stimulating cellular metabolism. Ultimately, the energy absorbed at the mitochondria enhances cellular ATP production.
Photothermal stimulation of PRP generates a state-of-the-art regenerative preparation. It achieves improved clinical results due to a more prolonged and sustained growth factor release and a reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine content.
Temperature · 4 °C
Thermal biomodulation
As with light, temperature has a huge body of evidence that backs up its effectiveness and safe utilization. Thermal stimulation prepares platelets to work more and better, increases their reactiveness and shows a myriad of activation markers. Primed platelet functionality also determines an increase in growth factors.
Since thermal boosting delays clot onset and primes platelet aggregation only after activation, the result is a less dense regenerative product, improving clinical results with a more convenient injection experience.
