Platelet-Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, is an autologous biologic product used in medi-
cine as a treatment for tissue repair. Nowadays, the majority of PRP obtention methods
enrich only platelets, not considering extraplatelet biomolecules, which take part in several
cell processes. In the present work, a novel PRP preparation method was developed to
obtain a PRP rich in both platelet and plasma extraplatelet molecules. The method is based
on the evaporation of the water of the plasma using a rotary evaporator. With this new meth-
odology an increase in plasmatic growth factors and, as a consequence, a better dermal
fibroblast cell viability was achieved, compared to a standard PRP formulation. This novel
PRP product obtained with this new methodology showed promising results in vitro as an
improved PRP treatment in future application
