Autologous Blood Therapy Short Course (ABTC-SC) Empowering Excellence with Every Drop
Overview
The Autologous Blood Therapy Course is a basic seminar developed for the individual that wishes to expand their knowledge of the new and exciting technology: PRP (platelet-rich-plasma)/ Platelet Concentrate, point-of-care stem cell processing, and autotransfusion.
The purpose of the Course is to impart knowledge acquired by PRFUZN, Inc. as an aid to the development of the technology. It is important to understand that the technical information presented during the Course may not be the only way of conducting the technology, but the information is presented as “what works for us.” However, it is our intent that with the knowledge acquired during the ABTC-SC, each attendee does not have to re-invent the wheel in order to develop a successful clinical practice.
