Abstract

Pressure injury (PI) corresponds to a skin damage of ischemic aetiology that
affects the integrity of the skin and is produced by prolonged pressure or friction between a
hard internal and external surface. Treatment can be challenging when there is no resolution
with usual care. The use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP) gel arises as a therapeutic
possibility in the presence of chronic pressure injuries. The case of a patient with
chronic PI who has been treated with APRP is presented, achieving resolution of the lesion.
