Purpose
The aim of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of an autologous mononuclear stem cells infusion in pressure ulcers of paraplegic patients; and moreover, to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Absence of adverse effects during timeframe as infections or complications related with the intervention. [ Time Frame: Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The proposed trial will involve the recruitment of a total of 30 patients. The cells will be collected via bone marrow sampling. The aspirate will centrifuged on a Ficoll density gradient to isolate mononuclear cells, wich will be resuspended in heparinized isotonic saline for infusion into the area of the wound. Assessment of adverse events will be by wound examination and laboratory (microbiological)parameters
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Improvement and closure of the pressure ulcer [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The closure of the ulcer will be assessed by NMR and physical examination

Experimental: Bone marrow stem cells
Bone marrow was obtained by posterosuperior iliac crest aspiration under topical anesthesia. Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density gradient and will be resuspended in heparinized isotonic saline for infusion into the wound.
|
Procedure: Infusion of autologous bone marrow stem cells after wound debridement.
Cleaning of the wound with heparinized saline, cell infusion and closing with suture.

Detailed Description:
Taking into account the encouraging results obtained in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds using bone marrow cells Given that treatment strategies for pressure ulcers can be both costly and complex, in this study we examine the possibility of improving pressure ulcer healing using stem cell therapy.
