Amnion Membrane (AMNION)
Amniotic membrane is produced by using the air-dried technique and is either glycerol preserved or glycerol cryopreserved. Wound coverings with amniotic tissue provide optimum physiological conditions for healing. The amniotic tissue adheres to the wounds to reduce pain and diminish infection, promoting reepithilisation. In addition, it allows exchange of water vapour and maintains an appropriate degree of humidity of the lesion to prevent dehydration.
Amniotic membrane is commonly used to treat open wounds including superficial burns (1st and 2nd degrees), diabetic ulcers, post-traumatic wounds, skin graft donor sites and dermabrasions. In ophthalmic practices, it is used for corneal ulcer and ocular surface surgeries.
