How PRP Works for DDiabetic Foot Ulcers

Creating a more favourable environment for faster wound healing
The PRP Procedure for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
-
Blood Draw

Centrifuge Spin
The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. -
Application to the Ulcer
The PRP is applied in one of two ways:
-
Injected around the ulcer (subcutaneously)
-
Or used as a topical gel or dressing placed directly on the wound
4.Wound Care
The site is covered with a sterile dressing and monitored closely. This may be repeated once a week for several weeks, depending on healing progress.
