Randomized, Controlled, Single-Blind Study on use of Autologous Keratinocytes on a Transfer Dressing to Treat Nonhealing Diabetic Ulcers

Abstract

Repeated regular applications of the patient's keratinocytes, delivered on the carrier dressing, initiated wound healing in ulcers resistant to conventional therapy, with 18 out of 21 ulcers responding. The healing observed did not appear attributable to patient recruitment or the cell-free carrier dressing but to the delivery of the cultured cells.
