Autologous Platelets Gel versus Conventional Methods in Managing Chronic Wounds

Wound healing is a complex process of cellular, hormonal and immunological components that interact to form a healing wound. Studies on chronic wound fluid suggest that growth factor levels are reduced and perhaps protease levels are high.1 Thus, there may be internal molecular defects in chronic wound cells that prevent their healing. This opened a new window of treatment by promoting the healing of chronic wounds by exploiting the necessary growth factors.
