Abstract
Objectives: In this study we have assessed the viability of skin grafts stored using autologous platelet rich plasma. To assess the usage of Autologous platelet rich plasma as a storage medium for Skin graft. Materials and Methods: The Skin graft was harvested from the patient who underwent surgery in hospital. The harvested skin grafts are stored in the medium with autologous platelet rich plasma. Autologous platelet rich plasma has rich source of proteins and growth factors. The autologous platelet rich plasma was prepared from the patient own blood. The histological changes of the skin graft were assessed periodically on day 7, 14 and day 21. Results: Autologous platelet rich plasma stored skin graft were able to preserve the histological changes of stored skin grafts on day 7, 14 and day 21. Conclusion: Preserved skin grafts can either be used in staged reconstructive procedures as autografts or for temporary coverage of wounds as allografts. Although several nutrient media and techniques have been developed for storage, the innovative use of autologous platelet rich plasma as a promising storage medium is successfu
