ABSTRACT:

Growth factor abnormality is one of the major causes of chronic wounds. Platelets are known as a rich source of growth factors. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances wound healing by either the barrier effect to prevent bacterial invasion into the wound or the growth factors stimulate wound healing. Platelet rich plasma increases the wound healing by two ways 1) effective barrier to avoid bacterial infringement into the wound 2) enhances growth factor which stimulates wound healing. There have been many progresses in tissue regeneration therapy in the use of PRP therapeutic process. PRP is one of the most powerful techniques which can be used for the treatment of chronic wounds it enables healing, and reduces amputation rates, infection and exudates.
