Abstract:
A wound care preparation free from bovine-derived activating agents is disclosed for use in wound care, for both topical wounds and surgical wounds. The preparation is isolated by first obtaining an amount of whole blood from the patient and treating the whole blood with one or more anti-clotting agents, subjecting the whole blood to a centrifugation process to obtain an amount of platelet-rich plasma, adding to the platelet-rich plasma an amount of anti-clotting neutralizing agent, and mixing the platelet-rich plasma with a structural matrix to increase viscosity of the preparation. In use, the viscous preparation can be applied directly to a wound or surgery incision and the viscous preparation may be mixed with other wound healing agents, growth matrices, or promoters such as anti-fungal agents, anti-biotic agents, and preservatives.
