Wounds are very common in a surgery practice. They lead to major morbidity and mortality in low socioeconomic countries due to inability to manage them. Management of wounds using Human Umbilical Cord Blood (HUCB) seems a feasible option. 40 patients with chronic wounds were treated in a tertiary care hospital using HUCB after proper informed consent and the results were compared to the use of ionic silver which is one of the most common substances used for wound dressings. At the completion of study, HUCB group showed improvement not only in clinical criteria but also histologically when compared to the control. The results are encouraging but large community trials are needed to further use HUCB at large scale.
