- Smaller, more compact version of the Dr. Choukroun PRF Membrane Tray
- Serves the same purpose as the larger tray and bowl, but in a more convenient and efficient size for minor surgical cases
- Contributing to a more precise and less wasteful use of the patient's own blood-derived biomaterial
Features:
- Like its larger counterpart, it is a key instrument in the PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) protocol, specifically designed for a more efficient and streamlined workflow, particularly for smaller surgical procedures
-
Preparing Mini-Membranes and Plugs:
- The mini-tray is used to separate the fibrin clot from the red blood cells after centrifugation
- It provides a clean, sterile surface to cut and shape the fibrin clots into smaller membranes or plugs
- This is particularly useful for single-tooth extractions or small bone graft sites where a large membrane is not necessary
-
Creating "Sticky Bone":
- While smaller than the full-size PRF bowl or tray, the mini-tray is still designed with a recessed area for mixing
- It can be used to mix bone graft particles with liquid PRF (the exudate) to create "sticky bone" for smaller defects, such as a single extraction socket
-
Making "Punches":
- The mini-tray can also be used to create small, circular PRF "punches," which are often used in periodontal procedures or for filling small defects around implants
-
Autoclavable and Reusable:
- The mini-tray is typically made of surgical-grade stainless steel, making it fully autoclavable and reusable, which is a key benefit for a surgical instrument
