CGF typically stands for “Concentrated Growth Factors,” which is a term used in the field of regenerative medicine and dentistry to describe a preparation derived from the patient’s own blood that contains a high concentration of growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules. CGF is produced by centrifuging a blood sample to separate out various components, including red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The resulting CGF preparation contains a rich mixture of growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF), among others. It can be used in cosmetic medicine, orthopedic treatments and regenerative medicine.
