Abstract

See full text

Platelet enriched plasma is produced from blood. The platelets are activated by thrombm which causes the release of platelet derived growth and angiogenesis factors. A carrier such as a microcrystalline collagen is added to produce a wound treating salve. The com­pound is applied directly to wounds and initiates heal­ing in non-healing wounds as well as accelerating nor­mal wound healing by increasing vascularization, stimu­lating fibroblast mitosis and migration and increasing collagen synthesis by fibroblasts. The process of treat­ment involves the use of a composition containing the materials released by platelets during the platelet release reaction.
