Abstract:
The present study was aimed to investigate the utility of collagen and silicone extracellular matrices embedded with autologous platelet rich plasma for cutaneous wound healing in horses by analysing the vascularity with the use of ultrasound imaging. The horses with cutaneous wound were randomly divided into two groups with six animals each. Assessment of vascularity by ultrasonography was studied for 0, 5, 15, 30 and 45^th day of post treatment period. Vascularity assessment by power doppler ultrasound examination revealed median score value which was statistically significant on 30^th and 45^th day of treatment between group I and group II animals which exhibited proper and complete healing.
