[EFFECTS OF PLATELET-RICH PLASMA IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC ULCER]
Abstract:
A venous ulcer is area of discontinuity of the skin, usually localised in distal parts of the lower legs. The aetiology is associated with chronic venous disease-venous hypertension. The size and shape of venous ulcer can be different and it may even cover all circumferential of extremity. Additionally, along with basic therapy possibilities, there are many different dressings. Therefore the knowledge of each characteristic of dressing on process of epithelisation is essential as well as treating the biofilm that is responsible for complications and persistence of ulcer. One of additional therapy possibility is platelet-rich plasma.
