Abstract

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is currently used in different medical fields. It is being used in several different applications as in tissue regeneration, wound healing, scar revision, skin rejuvenating effects, and alopecia. PRP is a biological product defined as a portion of the plasma fraction of autologous blood with a platelet concentration above the baseline. In this manuscript, we discuss the role of autologous platelet rich plasma in preventing the flap necrosis in an electrical burn patient.
