Burns & Wound Healing
Biologic therapies for burns and wound healing accelerate tissue repair, reduce scarring, and improve functional recovery. These treatments target chronic wounds, acute injuries, and burns.
Common Conditions Treated
- Chronic Wounds: Long-standing wounds such as pressure sores.
- Burns: Thermal, chemical, or electrical injuries.
- Diabetic Ulcers: Non-healing ulcers often on the lower extremities.
- Surgical Wounds: Sites that fail to heal post-operatively.
- Radiation-Induced Skin Damage: Tissue injury from cancer treatment.
Treatment Modalities
- Exosome Therapy: Applied topically to enhance epithelial repair and reduce inflammation.
- Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Therapy: High-quality MSC-derived products promote vascularization and healing.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Used in dressings or injections to accelerate tissue regeneration.
- Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Products: Scaffolding to support cell migration and tissue growth.
Procedure Overview
Patient Selection:
- Ideal Candidates: Patients with non-healing wounds or extensive burns.
- Contraindications: Active systemic infections or severe sepsis.
Preparation:
- Wound Cleaning: Irrigate with sterile saline to prepare the area.
- Debridement: Remove necrotic tissue if necessary.
Administration:
- Topical Application: Apply biologics directly to the wound.
- Injection Therapy: Administer biologics into wound edges for deeper repair.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Change dressings regularly and monitor for infection.
- Educate patients on proper wound hygiene.
