A method to speed up wound healing identified

  • Summary

  • New research published in Advanced Functional Materials by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences suggested that effective wound healing may be aided by replicating a crucial component of our blood which is Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)- a natural healing substance in our blood. This study explored ways of enhancing the wound healing process by extracting PRP from the blood of a patient with a complex skin wound and manipulating it through 3D printing to form an implant for tissue repair which can be used to treat difficult-to-heal skin wounds in a single surgical procedure.
