Abstract

Topical application of autologous platelet rich plasma (APRP) is used in the treatment of various types of wounds. Currently available methods for application of APRP include injectable or irrigation by syringe but have the limitation of inadequate coverage of surface area requiring large amount of APRP. To improve large surface area with minimum amount of APRP we have designed indigenously made spray device. This article highlights the preliminary pilot application of this device in one of the patient in plastic surgery. This device is easy to prepare and cost effective.

Keywords: APRP; Spray; Device.
