What Kind of Dressing Is Important to Ensure Wound Healing With the Application of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Chronic Ulcers?

Abstract

Wound healing is an intricate process of tissue regeneration that depends on the simultaneous presence of immunological and microenvironmental factors. The significant role of platelets and their granules in the wound-healing process has led to extensive research on their potential as a therapeutic intervention in different areas, including chronic wounds and aesthetic therapies. Saltwater aids in purification and promotes healing by utilizing osmosis. Sodium chloride, the chemical component present in salt, induces the extrusion of fluids from cells upon contact. If the liquids in issue are bacterial, they will also be ejected, assisting in the cleansing of the skin. Desiccation, often known as the drying out of injured cells, is well-known for its antibacterial properties and subsequent ability to reduce inflammation. This case series aims to investigate the advantages of using saltwater dressing following platelet-rich plasma therapy for chronic wounds.
