Comparison effects of platelet-rich plasma on healing of infected and non-infected excision wounds by the modulation of the expression of inflammatory mediators: experimental research.
Microbial invasion in soft tissue is believed to cause infectious wounds and increase healthcare costs, anxiety, and distress. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of topical use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on infected wound-healing process in rats. ⋯ We could recommend the use of PRP for the treatment of infected wounds owing to its efficiency in decreasing colonization of tissue bacteria, tissue inflammation, and stimulating wound heal-up.
