Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has gained recognition as a regenerative biomaterial with potential applications in soft tissue healing. The study was aimed to prepare bovine origin platelet rich fibrin gel and characterisation by histology and scanning electron microscopy. PRF gel was prepared from venous blood collected from cross-bred postpartum dairy cattle centrifuged at 3200 rpm for 12 minutes. Histology and scanning electron microscopy revealed a compact fibrin network and the cells were distributed within PRF gel. The findings could provide a comprehensive understanding of cellular and matrix composition of bovine PRF gel, essential for its effective clinical application.
