The Arthroscopic Surgery Unit, through its Advanced Biological Therapy Unit has specialised in  Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Technology and more specifically in Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF®-Endoret®) which enhances the healing and regeneration process by adding bioactive substances obtained from a small amount of the patient's own blood.

PRGF®-Endoret® was the first autologous plasma system (where the patient's own blood is used) on the market. Growth factors are currently being used in tendon, ligament, muscular, joint, skin, cartilage and bone disorders and are applied on an outpatient basis or in surgical operations. There are different lines of research which in the future will probably bring about further applications for growth factors.

The UTBA houses a laboratory and facilities where all the therapeutic activities and actions involving Platelet Rich Plasma are carried out on an outpatient basis. All these spaces are treated as authentic operating theatres in terms of hygiene, disinfection, healthcare controls and personal attire in order to constantly minimize any risk of infection.

The Arthroscopic Surgery Unit is currently a pioneer in the use of this therapy for trauma injuries.
