Fat cells could speed healing of stubborn wounds
NCT ID NCT02375802
Summary
This small, early-stage study is testing whether stem cells from a patient's own body fat can help heal serious pressure sores or diabetic foot ulcers. Doctors take a small amount of fat via liposuction, extract the stem cells, and apply them directly to the wound. The main goal is to see if this approach is safe and if it helps wounds close faster over a 6-week period.
