Abstract
Platelets play a crucial role in wound healing as they are reservoirs of growth factors and cytokines which play a fundamental role in homeostasis and tissue remodeling. Recently, fields such as dermatology and plastic and reconstructive surgery have become interested in the tissue regenerative properties of these compounds, especially since it promotes wound healing, improves scar outcomes and has rejuvenating effects on the skin and other tissues. We evaluated the effects of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in full thickness skin graft healing. Our study included 40 male Wistar rats. Skin grafts were assessed macroscopically using planimetry. The full thickness skin grafts in the test group, displayed a lower necrosis rate compared to the control group. Our study displays the potential benefits of using Platelet Rich compounds to facilitate wound healing and integration of full thickness skin grafts.
