Platelet Rich Plasma and Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Summary

In chronic diabetic foot ulcer, if the conventional dressing fails, new therapeutic options such as recombinant human growth factors and bioengineered skin substitutes may be beneficial, but the cost is a limiting factor. Autologous platelet rich plasma is a cost-effective method that enhances wound healing by promoting the healing process by local release of growth factors.
