Wound products that reliably support healing of chronic leg ulcers remain a huge unmet need in clinical practice. Due to the lack of standardized comparable protocols and different systems for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation, there is limited data on healing rates in chronic venous ulcers. In our case series with a total of seven chronic leg ulcers in four patients, we investigated the healing rates based on standardized digital photographs of chronic venous ulcers after application of topical PRP using a digital imaging software. In 5 out of 7 ulcers, the PRP-treated wound half showed faster healing as compared the control half of the wound. In this case series, PRP-treated sides of chronic venous leg ulcers showed a tendency for accelerated healing as compared to nontreated collateral wound side. Our data support the evaluation of topical PRP treatment in the management of chronic venous leg ulcers.
