Abstract
The efficacy of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (APRP) for adult thermal burns for better wound bed preparation. APRP is an increasingly popular adjunct in surgical, medical and aesthetic interventions. Their beneficial effects lie in their ability to deliver a high concentrate of growth factors. In our study APRP was utilised in a subject with adult thermal burns to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of a non-invasive intervention approach using APRP
