Autologous Blood Clot Therapy (Wound Treatment)

Autologous Blood Clot Therapy (ABCT) is an advanced, natural wound treatment available as a professional home nursing service in Singapore. Our EMIS+ registered nurses use the patient's own blood to form a fibrin clot matrix that acts as a biological scaffold — accelerating the healing of chronic and complex wounds without the need for synthetic materials.

ABCT is particularly beneficial for patients with non-healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, or wounds that have not responded well to conventional dressing therapies. This innovative treatment harnesses your body's natural healing factors right in the comfort of your home, eliminating the need for frequent hospital visits.

What Our ABCT Home Service Includes

• Initial wound assessment and documentation
• Venepuncture (blood draw) from patient using sterile technique
• Centrifugation of blood to separate and concentrate platelets and fibrin
• Preparation of autologous fibrin clot/gel
• Application of fibrin clot directly to the wound bed
• Application of appropriate secondary dressing to secure and protect the clot
• Patient and caregiver education on wound aftercare
• Documentation of wound progress and treatment response

Conditions Suitable for Autologous Blood Clot Therapy

• Chronic non-healing wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries)
• Wounds with poor granulation tissue formation
• Post-surgical wounds with delayed healing
• Wounds unresponsive to conventional wound care
• Patients who prefer biologically derived wound treatments

Note: ABCT requires a doctor's prescription or referral. Consumables (centrifuge tube, dressing materials) are charged separately. Please ensure you have your doctor's wound care plan available for our nurse.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Autologous Blood Clot Therapy Singapore

What is Autologous Blood Clot Therapy (ABCT)?

Autologous Blood Clot Therapy (ABCT) is a regenerative wound treatment that uses a small sample of the patient's own blood. The blood is processed to extract a fibrin-rich clot or gel, which is then applied directly to the wound. This stimulates natural healing by providing growth factors, platelets, and a scaffolding matrix for new tissue to grow.

Is ABCT the same as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?

ABCT and PRP both use the patient's own blood to promote healing, but they differ in preparation methods. PRP requires a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, while ABCT uses the whole blood clot as a biological scaffold. Both therapies leverage the body's natural growth factors. Your doctor will advise which is most suitable for your wound.

Is Autologous Blood Clot Therapy available at home in Singapore?

Yes. EMIS+ provides ABCT as a professional home nursing service across Singapore. Our trained nurses perform the blood draw, clot preparation, and wound application at your home — making this advanced therapy accessible without hospital admission.

Is ABCT painful?

The blood draw is similar to a routine blood test and may cause minor discomfort. The application of the fibrin clot to the wound is generally well-tolerated. Our nurses will ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure and will communicate each step clearly.

How many sessions of ABCT are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the wound's size, depth, and healing response. Typically, ABCT is performed weekly or as directed by your doctor until satisfactory wound closure is achieved. Our nurses will monitor progress and coordinate with your medical team.

Who is suitable for Autologous Blood Clot Therapy?

ABCT is suitable for patients with chronic or non-healing wounds who have adequate blood health for venepuncture. It is particularly beneficial for diabetic patients, elderly patients with venous ulcers, and those who prefer biologically derived treatments. Consult your doctor to determine eligibility.

Does ABCT require a doctor's referral?

Yes, a doctor's referral or wound care prescription is required. EMIS+ nurses will follow the prescribed wound treatment plan to ensure the therapy is administered safely and in compliance with medical guidelines.
