The charity had help from staff at Preston’s Springfields Fuels Limited, whose Employees’ Medical Research & Charity Trust Fund gave the Foundation a £2,695 award to put towards the £5,250 cost of two PRF Duo Quattro Full Systems – one for each hospital.
The systems can be used to speed patient healing and reduce the risk of treatment complications. The dentistry teams at Rosemere Cancer Centre look after patients from the Preston area and from across Lancashire and South Cumbria who are undergoing treatment for head and neck cancers, which includes cancers of the mouth.
Their new kit is a centrifuge system that can be kept chair-side. A small blood sample is taken from patients needing surgical procedures – tooth extractions, bone grafts or dental implants.
