Is Orthokine treatment and PRP therapy the same thing?
Dr. Andrew BlecherDr. Andrew Blecher
No. Orthokine treatment takes cells out of the blood and manipulates them and therefore requires FDA approval. Orthokine is not FDA approved and therefore not available in the US. PRP only separates and concentrates the cells without manipulating them (according to FDA standards) and therefore is approved for use in the US.
