Cell or exosome application is a clinic procedure (15–30 minutes); patients continue outpatient care immediately. Healing progression—measurable wound-area reduction—typically emerges within 2–3 weeks and continues over 8–12 weeks. Patients must continue pressure offloading, glucose control, and vascular care throughout.
Chronic wound cell and exosome therapy has been subject to 59 completed trials, with 7 currently enrolling participants. Trials span diabetic foot ulcers (majority), pressure wounds, and mixed aetiology chronic wounds. Closure rates (percentage of wounds achieving full epithelial coverage) in treated cohorts typically range from 55–85% over 8–16 weeks, compared to reported historical control rates of 20–40% for advanced wounds. Exosome-based studies specifically show wound-area reduction averaging 45–70% at 12 weeks. Trial heterogeneity in wound selection, cell dose, and delivery (topical, intradermal injection, or fibrin-scaffold embedding) limits meta-analysis.
