Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of topical autologous platelet-rich fibrin versus no intervention on epithelialization of donor sites and meshed split-thickness skin autografts: a randomized clinical trial.
Autologous platelet-rich fibrin contains multiple growth factors. The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to study the effect of topical platelet-rich fibrin on epithelialization of donor sites and meshed split-thickness skin autografts. ⋯ Epithelialization of donor wounds or the interstices of autografts was not significantly influenced by platelet-rich fibrin treatment.
