Amniotic membrane for wound healing<\/h1>

The amniotic membrane is the inner egg membrane of the maternal placenta that faces the fetus. A placenta donation is a living tissue donation. Prerequisites are the consent of the mother and a planned Caesarean section birth. Due to its excellent wound healing properties, the amniotic membrane can be used in various areas of medicine. Patients benefit from a gentle and fast healing method. The amniotic membrane is used, for example, in ophthalmology for the treatment of eye injuries or in oral and maxillofacial surgery, where it can be placed on larger wounds. The amniotic membrane is currently being processed in the cornea and tissue bank Schwerin<\/a>, a joint tissue bank of the Helios Kliniken Schwerin<\/a> and the DGFG.<\/p>\n

Fields of application<\/h3>\n

  • Ophthalmological and orbital procedures<\/li>\n
  • Temporary skin replacement for thermal injuries and wound healing disorders<\/li>\n
  • Gynaecological surgery: uterus and vagina<\/li>\n

    Especially in dermatology, amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has become firmly established as a skin substitute for the treatment of burns and chronic wounds (e.g. diabetic foot). The membrane consists of an epithelial layer, basement membrane and stroma and can be applied in two orientations.<\/p>\n

    The epithelial side<\/strong> faces the embryo. Its surface is smoother than that of the rougher stromal side<\/strong>, which faces the outer amniotic membrane. When the graft is delivered, the stromal side is positioned towards the support material as standard, while the epithelial side is open.<\/p>\n

    The graft is delivered cryopreserved and should be allowed to thaw at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
