SuperShot® PRP
SuperShot® PRP: A More Complete Approach to Platelet-Rich Plasma
What Is SuperShot® PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used for years to support the body’s natural healing process. It is created by drawing a small sample of your own blood, concentrating the platelets, and then precisely injecting them into the area being treated.
SuperShot® is an advanced PRP preparation method designed to preserve and include additional naturally occurring components from your own plasma that are typically discarded during standard PRP processing.
The result is a more complete PRP preparation using only your own blood.
How Is SuperShot® Different?
During standard PRP processing, some naturally occurring biological messengers—called extracellular vesicles—are discarded. These microscopic particles help cells communicate and are thought to play an important role in the body’s normal healing response. SuperShot® is designed to preserve these naturally occurring components as part of your PRP preparation.
SuperShot® uses a proprietary processing technique that captures these naturally occurring components from your own plasma and incorporates them into the final PRP preparation.
This means your treatment contains:
- Concentrated platelets
- Naturally occurring extracellular vesicles from your own blood
- Important biological signaling molecules naturally found in plasma
These components are believed to play a role in normal cell-to-cell communication and the body’s natural healing response.
Why Does This Matter?
Healing is a complex biological process that depends on many different signaling molecules working together.
Rather than focusing only on platelets, SuperShot® is designed to preserve additional naturally occurring components that are already present in your blood.
While research into these biological components continues to evolve, this approach aims to provide a more complete PRP preparation using your body’s own biology.
100% Your Own Blood
One of the advantages of SuperShot® is that it is entirely autologous, meaning everything used in your treatment comes from your own blood.
There are:
- No donor tissues
- No synthetic additives
- No foreign biologic materials
Your blood is collected, processed during your visit, and prepared for treatment the same day.
Fast and Efficient Processing
SuperShot® streamlines the PRP preparation process with a rapid processing method that can be completed in just minutes.
This allows your physician to prepare your PRP during your appointment while maintaining the biological components naturally found in your plasma.
Is SuperShot® Right for You?
At Sampson Regen, every patient receives a personalized evaluation. PRP treatments—including SuperShot® PRP—may be considered for patients experiencing certain musculoskeletal injuries, tendon disorders, ligament injuries, joint pain, or osteoarthritis when appropriate.
Our physicians use ultrasound guidance whenever appropriate to accurately deliver treatments to the targeted area.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your diagnosis, treatment goals, and whether SuperShot® PRP may be an appropriate option for your individual condition.
Why Choose Sampson Regen?
Our physicians have been leaders in regenerative orthopedics for more than 20 years, with extensive experience performing image-guided platelet-rich plasma procedures.
Our goal is simple: to use the latest evidence-based techniques and technologies while tailoring every treatment plan to the individual patient.
Please note: While PRP has been studied for a variety of orthopedic conditions, results vary from person to person, and no biologic treatment can guarantee a specific outcome. Your physician will discuss the current evidence and whether PRP is appropriate for your condition.
