ABSTRACT

In spite of new knowledge and the development of novel therapies in the field of wound care, many health practitioners encounter difficult to heal wounds, where even after proper care, wound healing is prolonged or stalled. We present a case of a woman with venous insufficiency and a cutaneous ulcer secondary to a dog bite and a very slow healing rate in whom the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma resulted in full wound closure after six weeks
