Abstract

Non healing ulcers represent a common problem in the plastic surgery practice. Many patients are unable to undergo definitive form of treatment immediately as they are medically unfit to undergo any procedure under general anesthesia or the wound bed is not ready for definitive cover. In such situations wound bed preparation plays a very important role. Many such therapies exist like autologous platelet rich plasma injections, autologous lipoaspirate injection, autologous bone marrow therapy etc. Dermal extract is one such method for wound bed preparation. The patient’s own dermis provides a scaffold for granulation tissue formation and epithelisation enabling wounds to heal faster. It serves as a safe, easy method for wound bed preparation when the patient is awaiting surgery in the form of graft or flap cover.
