This study evaluated for the first time the composition and bioactivity of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) produced from small animal blood by reducing the initial blood volume needed for the preparation of PRF from 10 to 3 mL. The results showed that different preparation protocols of PRF produced using 3 mL of animal blood exhibit the same composition, properties, and bioactivity as PRF prepared using 10 mL human blood.
