Abstract

Platelet Poor Plasma is the suspension of less than 10,000 platelets per microliter of plasma. PPP contains a concentration of growth factors that can help stimulate healing and also provide extended anti-inflammatory relief. PPP can be used to promote healing for soft tissue injuries involving tendons, ligaments and muscles. PPP provides encouraging solution for tissue adhesion with low post-operative edema. PPP also helps in reducing the formation of liquid buildup, seroma, and hematoma post-surgery. Keywords: Platelet Poor Plasma, Wound, Management.
