Human pilot studies reveal the potential of a vitronectin: growth factor complex as a treatment for chronic wounds
Abstract
Several different advanced treatments have been used to improve healing in chronic wounds, but none have shown sustained success. The application of topical growth factors (GFs) has displayed some potential, but the varying results, high doses and high costs have limited their widespread adoption.
