[0002] Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is plasma rich in platelets, obtained by centrifuging whole blood from animals or humans. The addition of thrombin transforms it into a gel-like substance, hence it is also known as platelet-rich gel or platelet-rich leukocyte gel. PRP contains a large number of growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). It promotes tissue repair and regeneration and is used in fields such as orthopedics, sports medicine, and dermatology, representing a personalized medical approach. During centrifugation, the blood separates into three layers: a plasma layer, a platelet-rich white blood cell layer, and a red blood cell layer.

[0020] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided in detail.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The platelet-rich plasma preparation device of this utility model includes an outer tube 7 with an outer central tube 12 at the front end and an open rear end. A detachable end cap 8 for sealing the outer central tube 12 is installed at the front end of the outer tube 7. A piston sleeve 6 is provided inside the outer tube 7, and an outer tube rubber plug 10 is installed at the front of the piston sleeve 6. A central hole is provided at the center of the outer tube rubber plug 10. An inner tube 9 with an open rear end is installed inside the piston sleeve 6. An inner central tube 15 is provided at the front end of the inner tube 9. There is a detachable connection structure between the front end of the inner tube 9 and the front end of the piston sleeve 6. A piston 2 is provided inside the inner tube 9, and an inner tube rubber plug 13 is installed at the front end of the piston 2.

[0022] Therefore, this platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation device has two syringe structures: an external syringe structure and an internal syringe structure. The external syringe structure includes the aforementioned outer tube 7 and its accessories, a piston sleeve 6 and its outer tube rubber stopper 10. The piston sleeve 6 and its outer tube rubber stopper 10 constitute the piston assembly of the external syringe structure. When the end cap 8 is removed and the piston assembly is moved backward, the anticoagulant and whole blood are drawn into the interior of the external syringe structure, i.e., into the interior of the outer tube 7. The internal syringe structure includes the aforementioned inner tube 9 and its accessories, a piston 2 and its inner tube rubber stopper 13. The piston 2 and its inner tube rubber stopper 13 constitute the piston assembly of the internal syringe structure. When the piston assembly is moved backward, platelet-rich plasma is drawn into the interior of the internal syringe structure, i.e., into the interior of the inner tube 9. For ease of measurement, graduations are provided on the outer wall of the outer tube 7 and the outer wall of the inner tube 9.

[0023] The preparation principle is as follows: anticoagulant and whole blood are drawn into the external syringe structure, and after the end cap 8 is installed, the blood is centrifuged to separate the blood into layers. Then, the internal syringe structure is operated to extract platelet-rich plasma. After that, the connection between the internal syringe structure and the piston sleeve 6 is released, and the final platelet-rich plasma is extracted by the internal syringe structure.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that:

[0025] The outer tube 7 has an internally threaded front connecting tube 16 at its front end, with the outer tube center tube 12 located inside the front connecting tube 16. The end cap 8 includes an end plate and a connecting sleeve and a closing sleeve located on the same side of the end plate. The connecting sleeve has an external thread and is located inside the closing sleeve. The connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the front connecting tube 16. When installing the end cap 8, the connecting sleeve of the end cap 8 is threadedly connected to the front connecting tube 16. At this time, the outer tube center tube 12 is inserted into the inside of the connecting sleeve, and the front connecting tube 16 is located between the connecting sleeve and the closing sleeve, achieving a good sealing effect. When the end cap 8 needs to be removed, it can be rotated off. When the end cap 8 is removed, the front end of the outer tube center tube 12 protrudes from the front of the front connecting tube 16, which facilitates the extraction of inhaled anticoagulants and whole blood.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0027] The piston sleeve 6 includes a sleeve body 6-1 with an open rear end. Multiple circumferentially spaced, axially extending side strips 6-2 are provided on the outer wall of the sleeve body 6-1. Holes 6-3 are also provided on the wall of the sleeve body 6-1. As shown in the figure, there are four side strips 6-2, with adjacent side strips 6-2 spaced 90° apart circumferentially. The holes 6-3 are located between adjacent side strips 6-2.

At this time, the piston connecting tube 11 and the inner tube front connecting tube 14 are threadedly connected, and the inner tube center tube 15 is located in the central hole of the piston connecting tube 11. After centrifugation, the internal syringe structure is used to extract the stratified platelet-rich plasma. Then, the connection between the piston connecting tube 11 and the inner tube front connecting tube 14 is released, and the internal syringe structure can be removed from the piston sleeve 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, grooves are provided on the front outer wall of the piston connecting pipe 11 and the front outer wall of the piston sleeve 6 (specifically, on the front outer wall of the sleeve body 6-1), and the outer tube rubber plug 10 is installed through the grooves.
