Background: Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are common injuries to the skin and subcutaneous tissues in patients who are bedridden or wheelchair-bound, with a particularly high incidence among elderly patients with diabetes. These chronic wounds often lead to increased morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and reduced quality of life. Traditional treatments for pressure ulcers have limited efficacy. In recent years, autologous concentrated growth factor (ACGF) has emerged as a promising regenerative medicine approach, showing potential in promoting wound healing through enhanced cell proliferation, accelerated angiogenesis, and improved tissue regeneration.
