Whole blood is divided into three parts: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. So, there are essentially no platelets in a unit of blood. Those that are in a unit of blood are not functional as they have been stored in the refrigerator and are weeks old. Platelets need to be stored at room temperature and used within a week of collection.
Typically, 1 unit of platelets is equal to approximately 200-300 milliliters (0.2-0.3 liters) of platelet concentrate.
One unit of platelets typically contains about 50 to 70 milliliters of volume. The expected rise in platelet count after transfusion can vary depending on the individual's condition, but a general guideline is an increase of 5,000 to 10,000 platelets per microliter of blood for every unit of platelets transfused.
it depends on how many platelets you have in your body.

If there is too many platelets your not going to have healthbody or blood
In adults one pack of platelets will increase the platelet count by 10,000/ml (Unless there is no destruction of platelets eg: in immune thrombocytopenia)
There are normally 150 million to 450 million platelets per milliliter of blood.
Platelets are net fibers that cover wounds and stop the external bleeding and helping it heal

Platelets help heal your wound, the scabs that form are the platelets

platelets that are smaller in size than your average platelets... Can be associated with aplastic anemia.
