Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma and Keratinocyte Suspensions on Wound Healing

Summary

This prospective randomized trial evaluated the impact of autologous keratinocytes suspended in platelet concentrates on healing skin graft donor site wounds. It was hypothesized that the treatment would speed and improve wound healing.
