Abstract
Electric burns injury is a problem which is still found now a days. The wound ranges from mild blistering to full thickness charring of tissues, when the wound goes into the healing phase there is difficulty due to the nature of the burns and the large area it involves. Any problem with the edge of the wound can be detrimental to healing and may cause delay in wound healing. In this article, we share our experience of using Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) for wound bed preparation in electric burns wound healing.
