Frequently asked questions

Six different types of tubes presented. Tubes differ in content, properties and application.

First of all, Plasma therapy tubes with sodium citrate for 10 and 8.5 ml, tubes contain anticoagulant and separation gel, which separates erythrocytes from plasma during centrifugation. Also have tubes for Plasma therapy with sodium heparinate.

PRP(PROFESSIONAL) tube with sodium citrate presented in two volumes 12 and 8.5 ml for experienced professionals.

PRF fibrin tube 10 ml designed to obtain platelet-rich fibrin clots.

PRF fibrin tube 12 ml made of special material to obtain liquid fibrin.

1. PRP(PROFESSIONAL) tubes with sodium citrate volume 8.5 and 12 ml
2. Plasma therapy tubes with sodium heparinate 8.5 ml
3. Plasma therapy tubes with sodium citrate 10 and 8.5 ml
4. Liquid fibrin (PRF) tubes 12 ml and Fibrin (PRF) tubes 10 ml (clot)

Each tube packaged in individual, hermetic, aluminum-plastic sachet. After individual packaging, tubes sterilized with gamma rays and packed in cardboard boxes of 10 pcs. Boxes additionally packed with heat shrink film.

1. Plasma therapy tubes with sodium citrate contain 3.2% sodium citrate solution and separation gel. Plasma therapy tubes with sodium heparinate contain sodium heparinate and separation gel. Presence of gel allows obtaining plasma separated from erythrocytes.
2. PRP (PROFESSIONAL) tubes with sodium citrate - contain 3.2% sodium citrate solution - anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting.
3. PRF fibrin tubes 12 ml - without additives. Tubes from high-quality medical materials, non-adhesive to platelets and coagulation factors. Designed to obtain injectable, liquid, platelet-rich fibrin PRF.
4. PRF fibrin tube 10 ml - without additives, designed to obtain platelet-rich fibrin in clot form.

Gel - during centrifugation rises from tube bottom and establishes barrier between erythrocytes and plasma. This is convenient, as it eliminates risk of mixing erythrocytes with plasma when drawing plasma from tube.

When using gel, erythrocytes and leukocytes separated from plasma, gel eliminates risk of mixing plasma with erythrocytes and leukocytes after centrifugation.

After centrifugation, tube with plasma can be removed from centrifuge without fear of mixing plasma with erythrocytes.

No. Tubes contain anticoagulant. In light green tubes - sodium heparinate, and in dark green and blue - sodium citrate solution.

After 10-15-20 min., depends on individual patient blood properties.

MM Medic tube production quality management system complies with DSTU ISO 13485 standard.

Tubes meet Technical Regulation requirements for medical devices (Resolution №753 of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine), certificate of conformity from 04.12.2025, safety class IIa.

Tubes passed verification in state certifying body POLITEKHMED, after verification tube manufacturer issued Certificate of Conformity to Technical Regulation.

Buyers issued copy of Declaration of Conformity to Technical Regulation.

Result of applying plasma therapy, PRP, PRF methods - very dependent on quality of tubes used. Tube used to obtain human autologous plasma that returns to tissues must be intended for these procedures.

MM Medic medical tubes certified, before certification passed laboratory tests and certifying body verification.

MM Medic tubes made of inert materials that do not interact with blood and plasma. Additives used in tubes safe for patient health. Plasma from MM Medic tubes has high regenerative potential due to platelets, platelet factors and other active substances.

Ordinary tube designed for laboratory research (has IVD marking - in vitro diagnostics). Anticoagulants it contains not designed for introduction into human body, so complications, allergic reactions, or lack of effect possible.

Moreover, this is violation of law! MM Medic tubes are medical tubes, developed and certified specifically for medical procedures, have IIa safety class, meaning tube contents allowed to be introduced back into human body (in vivo technology).

Tubes specially developed for medical procedures related to returning plasma to patient body.

• Tubes use pharmaceutical grade additives
• Tubes packaged in individual packages and necessarily sterilized
• Tubes passed certification procedure and meet Technical Regulation requirements
• Production quality management system certified to DSTU EN ISO 13485

Simple - laboratory tubes with gel designed for performing blood analysis, with subsequent disposal of plasma, blood residues and tube itself. Laboratory tubes made of technical grade components.

Additives in these tubes not intended for introduction into human tissues. MM Medic tubes specially developed for medical procedures, and tube production uses pharmaceutical grade components.

Currently, centrifugation modes developed for many desktop centrifuges. Tell us your centrifuge name and we will provide centrifugation parameters for tubes for your centrifuge.

Calculate rotation speed

Reduced tube cap diameter designed to fit most centrifuges and eliminates possibility of tube opening during centrifugation.

Speed selected for tube depends on centrifuge rotor diameter, smaller rotor - more speed needed to achieve required centrifugal force - G.

Tubes indicate centrifugal force G and time how many minutes tubes should be centrifuged at this force. If your centrifuge only allows setting speed per minute, tell us centrifuge specifications and we will calculate centrifugation modes for each tube.

In cosmetology (on average) for face area - 2 tubes, in dentistry (on average) - 1 tube.

Tube sockets in all centrifuge manufacturers designed for different tube types. Therefore, some tubes sit tightly in sockets, some not.

During rotor rotation, tube pressed against socket wall by centrifugal force and precisely this force fixes tube pressed against wall in stable position - prevents tube from wobbling during rotor rotation.

That is, blood in such tube centrifuged under same conditions as in previous tubes that were tightly fixed in centrifuge socket, so specified factor does not affect plasma quality.

Yes, studies exist. Required platelet concentration - from 600 thousand to 1 million per cu. mm. This concentration achieved by following centrifugation modes.

Moreover, platelet concentration depends on individual patient blood characteristics and selected tube type.

Currently two opinions formed about what to consider PRP plasma:

1. PRP plasma - plasma containing platelets at concentration 1,000,000 in one ml.
2. PRP plasma - plasma in which platelet concentration three to four times higher than in original blood (according to Marx).

Platelet concentration expressed through number of particles in volume: can be in one ml, can be in one microliter, can also find G/l (Giga per liter) - Giga - multiplier, means 10^9.

Course - 4 procedures. Between procedures there should be break of at least 7 days, or more.

After completing course, repeat it needed depending on clinical indications: someone already after 6 months, someone only after year, and someone only after two. Younger and healthier person, longer plasmolift effect lasts.

Plasmolift method part of complex therapy and compatible with other therapeutic and mesotherapy methods. At same time, plasmolift - independent treatment method, it is not alternative to others.

Combination with other methods determined by doctor individually, depending on patient skin condition. Not recommended to use this method with other mesotherapy procedures on same day.

Plasma therapy has contraindications, but there are quite few:

1. Systemic blood diseases
2. Acute respiratory diseases, flu accompanied by fever
3. Dermatosis, psoriasis
4. Diabetes mellitus in decompensated form
5. Malignant neoplasms

When performing plasma therapy procedures, probability of allergic reactions very low due to absence of foreign components. For treatment, autologous product used - plasma or fibrin obtained from patient's own blood.

However, in very isolated cases, redness possible at injection sites after using plasma obtained from tubes with sodium heparinate. Such reactions pass without treatment 1-2 days after procedure.

To avoid recurrence of such reactions, recommended for patient to subsequently use tubes with sodium citrate solution - PRP(PROFESSIONAL) tubes with sodium citrate.

Procedures used in treatment not certified by Ministry of Health. Medical devices and medicines certified by authorized bodies.

Use of medicines and medical devices regulated by Clinical Guidelines. Clinical Guidelines for treatment of each disease developed, approved and updated by State Expert Center of Ministry of Health.

Clinical Guidelines may not yet include plasma therapy, as it is auxiliary and more rehabilitation means used as supplement to main treatment. However, besides Clinical Guidelines there are methodological recommendations that do not oblige but allow using plasma in treatment process.
