Abstract
Statement of the Problem: An open injury is associated with loss of skin, exposure of underlying tendons, bones; leading to necrosis and infection. From local applications, antibiotics to medical devices, many intense treatments are in vogue. It takes huge resources in terms of experts, health care setting and finances to deal. The wound management is a huge challenge. World over billions of US dollars are spent annually on this. It is expected that the recent development of “biologics led therapy” should translate the wound management. In recent times especially after 2009, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is been clinically used as an important therapeutic biologic product. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the results pertaining to open wounds treated with PRP including wounds associated with fractures, infections, necrosis and non-healing. An analysis of 125 different wounds is done. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: At our center a Biotechnological intervention with PRP is under way. A clinical protocol “STARS therapy” (Sandeep’s Technique for Assisted Regeneration of Skin) has been developed for wound management. It is a “PRP mono-therapy” and does not need any drugs, dressing or surgeries. It’s based on tissue reengineering of wounds and assisted growth of skin by serial PRP infiltrations. Findings: A complete cure of wound has been established using regenerative medicine product in a standardized manner, including control of infection, tissue regeneration and skin coverage. The therapy is developed with intentions to keep it very simple, so that every doctor / nursing personnel can easily impart it. Perhaps for the first time in the clinical care a simple regenerative medicine therapy protocol is developed towards wide applicability, safety, feasibility, easy accessibility and cost effectively. Conclusion & Significance: This study concludes that this translational clinical research has immense potential for future wound care management in terms of taking out many complexities of current intense wound management.
