Brief Summary:
This prospective randomized trial evaluated the impact of autologous keratinocytes suspended in platelet concentrates on healing skin graft donor site wounds. It was hypothesized that the treatment would speed and improve wound healing.

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Control
Wounds covered with standard dressings: three layers of paraffin gauze, standard bandages, elastic bandage.
 Other: Standard dressings
Three layers of paraffin gauze, topped with standard dry bandages and an elastic bandage.
Experimental: PRP
PRP sprayed onto the wound bed with Calcium Choride. Wounds covered with same standard dressings used in control group.
 Biological: Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma isolated from patient blood sprayed onto wound bed along with 10% Calcium Chloride solution in a 10 to 1 proportion.

Other: Standard dressings
Three layers of paraffin gauze, topped with standard dry bandages and an elastic bandage.
Experimental: PRP+K
Keratinocytes suspended in PRP sprayed onto the wound bed with Calcium Choride. Wounds covered with same standard dressings used in control group.
 Biological: Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma isolated from patient blood sprayed onto wound bed along with 10% Calcium Chloride solution in a 10 to 1 proportion.

Biological: Keratinocyte suspension
Autologous keratinocytes isolated from skin biopsy suspended in platelet rich plasma before spraying.

Other: Standard dressings
Three layers of paraffin gauze, topped with standard dry bandages and an elastic bandage.
