Abstract At present, the role of platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) in burn and wound management is undefined. We present some of the evidence for PRP in wound healing and other medical fields. Currently, the high variation in product composition, mode and timing of application prevent a clear definition of the position of PRP in wound healing. Perspectives on solving these issues are described.
