MEDIFUGE CGF MF 200
Concentrated Growth Factors, prepared from the patient's own blood in a five-minute cycle.
Applications
Skin rejuvenation, which Silfradent names for the CGF protocol this centrifuge produces rather than for the appliance itself.- Orthopaedic use, which Silfradent's own MEDIFUGE brochure lists under Area of use.
- Hair restoration, which Silfradent names as hair regeneration for the CGF protocol rather than for the appliance itself.
- Parodontology, implantology and maxillo facial surgery, three of the specialties Silfradent lists under Scope of use for MEDIFUGE CGF.
- Cosmetic surgery, general surgery, wound care and ulcer care, the remaining specialties on the same Scope of use list.
How it works
MEDIFUGE is a blood phase separator: up to eight tubes spin through one of three fixed programmes while a microprocessor holds the speed constant, so the phases of the sample settle out. Concentrated Growth Factors is isolated by that standardised separation protocol alone, with no exogenous substance added to the blood, and the fibrin clot the cycle yields is then worked into a membrane with the kit's own instruments before it goes into the implant site. A self-ventilating rotor keeps the sample away from the heat the spin generates.
Cycle
5 minutes at 1,000 rpm
Blood sample
Drawn from the patient's own blood
Noise
Under 57 dBA
Why this system
Three non-editable protocols
CGF, PRP1 and PRP2, fixed rather than operator-adjusted, in a five-minute cycle at 1,000 rpm.
CGF is a distinct protocol, never a type of PRP
Concentrated Growth Factors is Silfradent's own autologous technique, built from the patient's own blood.
Ships complete
The CGF K1 kit bundles 18 components, including the blood collection set, tubes, trays, dappens, membrane instruments and a surgical tray.
No maintenance required
Silfradent states the electronic control engine and its internal parts require no maintenance.

Consumables. Silfradent's own PV 200R and PV 200P vacuum tubes supply the collection side: PV 200R yields CGF from plain 10 mL glass tubes, 50 to a pack; PV 200P yields liquid plasma PRP from tubes with separator gel and sodium citrate, 20 to a pack.
Is CGF the same as PRP?
No. Concentrated Growth Factors is Silfradent's own distinct autologous protocol, not a type of PRP.
How long does a cycle take?
Five minutes, at 1,000 rpm.
What does MEDIFUGE CGF MF 200 ship with?
The CGF K1 kit, 18 components including the blood collection set, tubes, trays, dappens, membrane instruments and a surgical tray.
Which protocols does the centrifuge run?
Three, fixed rather than operator-adjusted: CGF, PRP1 and PRP2.
What tubes does the centrifuge use?
Silfradent's own PV 200R and PV 200P: PV 200R for CGF, PV 200P for liquid plasma PRP.
Where has CGF's clinical efficacy been demonstrated?
Silfradent states CGF efficacy has been demonstrated so far in oral and maxillofacial surgery, in maxillary sinus lift procedures and in profile ridge augmentation.
Does the centrifuge need maintenance?
No. Silfradent states the electronic control engine and its internal parts require no maintenance.
How is the centrifuge decontaminated?
Through a built-in cycle using UVC germicidal reflected light.
Is a variant available for a different electrical standard?
Yes. Alongside the standard MF 200 (230V, 50/60 Hz), Silfradent lists the MF 200 100 as a separate reference, wired for 100 to 115V, 50/60 Hz. Both draw 120 VA and share the same weight and dimensions.
