System for the production of autologus platelet gel useful for the delivery of medicinal and genetic agents

Abstract

A system for the production of a blood component composition is provided. The system includes a centrifuge having a blood reservoir for receiving and separating a blood sample into multiple components; a dispenser disposed outside of the centrifuge having a first collection chamber containing an activation agent and a second collection chamber containing one or more medicinal agents; means for removing a first portion at least one separated blood component from the centrifuge to the first container and a second portion to the second collection chamber, wherein the first collection chamber activates the first portion and stores the resulting clot and thrombin; a filter for separating the thrombin from the clot; and a nozzle for entraining and mixing the thrombin with the second portion containing the one or more medicinal components.

1 . A system of the production of a blood component composition, comprising:
 a centrifuge including a blood reservoir for receiving and separating an anticoagulated blood sample having multiple inactive blood components;   a dispenser being disposed outside of the centrifuge and the blood reservoir and having first collection chamber containing an activation agent and a second collection chamber containing one or more medicinal materials;   means for removing at least one of the inactive blood components upon separation from the centrifuge and delivering a first portion of the inactive blood component to the first collection chamber and a second portion of the inactive blood component to the second collection chamber, the first collection chamber activating the first portion of the inactive blood component and storing a resulting activated blood component comprising a clot and thrombin, the second collection chamber combining the second portion of the inactive blood component with the one or more medicinal materials;   a filter for separating the thrombin from the clot; and   a nozzle for entraining and mixing the thrombin with the second portion of the inactive blood component comprising the one or more medicinal materials thereby forming the blood component composition.
