What is Amniotic Allograft Membrane?

Amniotic allograft membrane commonly used as skin barrier in treatments is a biological material derived from the outermost layer of the placenta. It is processed and sterilized to remove any potential pathogens, making it safe for use in medical procedures.

How Does It Work?

Amniotic allograft membrane offers several benefits that can promote wound healing:

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: It contains natural anti-inflammatory factors that can reduce inflammation and swelling around the wound.

• Growth Factor Delivery: The membrane is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell growth and tissue regeneration.

• Antimicrobial Effects: It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent infections.

• Scar Reduction: Amniotic allograft membrane can help minimize scarring, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Uses of Amniotic Allograft Membrane

Amniotic allograft membrane is used in a variety of wound care applications, including:

• Chronic Wounds: Pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous stasis ulcers

• Surgical Wounds: Post-operative incisions, burns

• Acute Wounds: Traumatic injuries, lacerations

Benefits of Using Amniotic Allograft Membrane

• Accelerated Healing: It can significantly speed up the healing process.

• Reduced Pain: It can help alleviate pain associated with wounds.

• Improved Aesthetic Outcomes: It can minimize scarring and improve the appearance of the healed wound.

• Reduced Risk of Infection: Its antimicrobial properties can help prevent infections.

Is Amniotic Allograft Membrane Safe?

Amniotic allograft membrane is generally considered safe for use in medical procedures. It undergoes rigorous processing and testing to ensure it is free of pathogens.

VWSPC also provides this as an additional treatment approach to facilitate wound healing.
