Inclusion Criteria:

* Signed Informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients tested positive for HBV, HCV, syphilis or HIV
* Patients with known underlying or concomitant medical conditions that may interfere with normal wound healing (e.g. systemic skin and connective tissue diseases, any kind of congenital defect of metabolism including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Cushing syndrome or disease, scurvy, chronic hypothyroidism, congenital or acquired immunosuppressive condition, chronic renal failure, or chronic hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh class B or C), severe malnutrition, or other concomitant illness which, in the opinion of the Investigator, has the potential to significantly delay wound healing)
