Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of an autologous mononuclear stem cells infusion in pressure ulcers of paraplegic patients; and moreover, to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.

Detailed description

Taking into account the encouraging results obtained in the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds using bone marrow cells Given that treatment strategies for pressure ulcers can be both costly and complex, in this study we examine the possibility of improving pressure ulcer healing using stem cell therapy.

Conditions

• Type IV Pressure Ulcers
• Chronic Wounds
• Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Infusion of autologous bone marrow stem cells after wound debridement.	Cleaning of the wound with heparinized saline, cell infusion and closing with suture.
