Abstract

Autologous platelet rich plasma is the component of plasma containing concentrated platelets after graded centrifugation. It has various applications. Since time immemorial, skin grafting has been used for wound coverage. However, the healing process is longer and may be difficult, depending on the site, defect size, and patients’ general condition, and is difficult to be carried out in patients who have limited donor sites & is associated with poor outcomes. Platelet rich plasma can be used in the management, to assist in the graft uptake, thus decreasing patient morbidity and improving the surgical outcome.
