✅ A trained physician to administer the PRP injection and perform tendon fenestration if needed.
✅ An assistant, such as a sonographer, to help setup and guide the procedure.
✅ A nurse or phlebotomist available to draw the patient’s blood on the day of the procedure.
✅ Post procedure instructions for the patient after the procedure is complete.
