In the rapidly growing world of regenerative aesthetics and orthobiologic treatments, selecting the right PRP tubes with ACD and gel is essential for achieving reliable results. Whether you’re a dermatologist, orthopedic specialist, or aesthetic clinic, knowing where to source certified PRP tubes can significantly impact the outcome of your procedures.

This guide breaks down what to look for, why certifications matter, and why IPPOCARE PRP tubes are trusted by professionals across the U.S.

What Are PRP Tubes with ACD and Gel?

PRP tubes with ACD and gel are advanced medical devices specifically engineered for the preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—a regenerative solution derived from a patient’s own blood. These vacuum-sealed blood collection tubes are essential tools in both aesthetic and clinical treatments, offering a safe, sterile, and efficient way to isolate and concentrate platelets for therapeutic use.

To produce high-quality PRP, two key components must be present in the tube:

1. ACD (Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose)

ACD is a sterile, citrate-based anticoagulant solution added to the tube to prevent blood clotting immediately after collection. Its role is critical because:

• It preserves platelet viability during handling and centrifugation.
• It stabilizes the pH of the blood sample.
• It ensures platelets remain suspended in plasma without premature activation.

By preventing coagulation, ACD allows for more efficient separation and recovery of platelets during the centrifugation step, which is essential for achieving a highly concentrated PRP layer.

2. Separation Gel

The tube contains a thixotropic separation gel, a non-reactive, biocompatible substance that forms a physical barrier during centrifugation. This gel settles between the red blood cell (RBC) layer and the plasma layer, ensuring:

• Clear division of blood components.
• Consistent and high-purity PRP extraction.
• Reduced contamination with unwanted cells such as granulocytes or erythrocytes.

The separation gel acts as a “valve” that physically blocks red blood cells and other heavier components from mixing with the platelets and plasma above—allowing practitioners to draw out PRP more accurately and with less effort.

3. Why It Matters

Using PRP tubes that include both ACD and separation gel significantly improves the quality, purity, and efficacy of PRP preparations. These features are especially important in:

• Facial rejuvenation treatments like microneedling and PRP facials (e.g., Vampire Facial®)
• Hair restoration procedures using PRP injections into the scalp
• Orthopedic therapies for joint pain, tendon injuries, or post-surgical healing

Professionally engineered PRP tubes with gel and anticoagulant ensure minimal cell contamination, maximum platelet yield, and reproducible results—key factors in delivering safe, effective, and visibly improved patient outcomes.

Who Should Use These Tubes?

IPPOCARE PRP tubes with ACD and separation gel are designed for licensed medical and aesthetic professionals who aim to deliver high-quality regenerative treatments with maximum safety, consistency, and platelet concentration. These specialized tubes cater to a broad range of practices that rely on autologous PRP therapy for skin, hair, and musculoskeletal applications.

Here’s who will benefit most from incorporating these tubes into their daily clinical workflow:

1. Dermatologists and Cosmetic Injectors

Practitioners who perform skin rejuvenation procedures such as microneedling, PRP facial injections, or the popular Vampire Facial require pure, high-concentration PRP with minimal contamination. These tubes allow for:

• Efficient extraction of PRP for direct dermal injection
• Improved collagen stimulation and skin texture refinement
• Reduced inflammation and quicker healing post-treatment

2. Hair Restoration Specialists

Clinics treating androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) or hair thinning rely on PRP to stimulate dormant hair follicles and increase blood flow to the scalp. These tubes:

• Provide a platelet-rich serum ideal for injection into the scalp
• Enhance follicular repair and prolong hair growth cycles
• Are compatible with microneedling and mesotherapy techniques

3. Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Providers

Orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, and pain specialists use PRP injections to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in patients with:

• Joint degeneration (e.g., knee osteoarthritis)
• Tendon injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)
• Ligament damage or post-surgical recovery

The reliable separation achieved by these tubes ensures a cleaner PRP layer for intra-articular or peri-tendinous injections, optimizing therapeutic effect.

4. Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Clinics

Professionals in aesthetic medicine use PRP for non-surgical anti-aging treatments targeting:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Under-eye pigmentation
• Skin dullness and loss of elasticity

The addition of separation gel helps deliver a more concentrated PRP layer with higher bioavailability, improving outcomes in PRP with HA treatments, dermal applications, and even combination protocols with laser or RF therapy.

Using the right tube makes a significant difference in platelet viability, plasma purity, and overall treatment results. Whether you’re injecting PRP for facial rejuvenation, promoting hair growth, or healing joint injuries, IPPOCARE PRP tubes with ACD and gel are trusted by professionals worldwide for their efficiency, safety, and consistent performance.

Why Use Certified PRP Tubes?

Not all PRP tubes are created equal. Medical professionals should look for CE-certified or FDA-compliant tubes that meet strict manufacturing and sterilization standards.

Here’s why certification matters:

• 🧪 Sterility: Ensures the tube is pyrogen-free and safe for human use.
• 🧬 Material Quality: Certified tubes are made of medical-grade glass or PET with strong vacuum retention.
• 📈 Reproducible Results: Certified PRP tubes offer consistent platelet concentration and separation.

IPPOCARE PRP tubes are manufactured in ISO-certified facilities. Each lot is batch-tested for quality control and comes with full documentation for medical use.
