Assadian This review considers qualifying standards of wound management, explains the hypothesis for the applicability of tissue tolerable plasma (TTP) and lists the TTP effects relevant for wound healing. TTP fulfils these requirements in-vitro and in-vivo together with its demonstrated good tissue tolerability. Cases of treatment of chronic wounds in pets are presented which healed by TTP in combination with polihexanide or octenidine within 3 to 24 weeks. It may be concluded that TTP is a new option for the treatment of chronic wounds.
