Comparative analysis of PRF tube clot weights and sizes from 6 individuals after centrifugation utilizing the same centrifugation speed and time and either plain glass tubes or silica-coated plastic tubes. a In general, the silica-coated plastic tubes on average decrease the final weight of PRF-based matrices nearly twofold. b Over a 10-day period, while both PRF clots are slowly and gradually degraded over time, significantly increased amounts of membrane remain at 0, 3 and 7 days. Both glass tubes and silica-coated plastic tubes were filled to 9 mL (Reprinted with permission from Miron et al. 2021 [13]
