Treatment can be challenging when there is no resolution with usual care. The use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP) gel arises as a therapeutic possibility in the presence of chronic pressure injuries. The case of a patient with chronic PI who has been treated with APRP is presented, achieving resolution of the lesion.Keywords: pressure ulcer, regenerative medicine, wound healinghttps://www.dovepress.com/closure-of-a-difficult-to-manage-chronic-pressure-injury-with-the-use--peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IMCRJpressure ulcerregenerative medicinewound healing |
