“The use of autologous PRP is associated with rapid wound closure and low amputation rates”
“Significant decrease in wound volume with an average reduction in the size of 75.5% and achieving wound closure in all but one patient”
Average time taken to complete wound closure was 17.9 days therefore rapidly reducing the risk of proceeding to major amputation and shortening hospital admission”
