  • Placental tissue that surrounds and protects the fetus during development in utero
  • The properties of amnion that benefit the fetus also make it an effective material for protecting a wide variety of wounds, while at the same time creating an environment conducive to the regeneration of healthy tissue
  • Repurposing this versatile tissue to improve outcomes in wound management is supported by studies in published literature which describes its successful and safe clinical use
  • Amnion membranes consist primarily of fibrillar and membranous collagens, elastin, and a mix of growth factors and cytokines that provide the properties unique to placental tissues

Benefits

  • The scientific and peer reviewed literature describe a number of benefits from the clinical use of amnion tissues, including:
  • Safe, natural covering that improves normal wound healing outcomes
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Reduced fibrosis and scarring at the surgical site
  • Decreases pain
  • Provides a substrate for stem cells

Advantages

  • Improved handling characteristics due to thickness
  • Surface layer dimpling for ease of graft placement and handling
  • Eliminates need to apply with one side towards wound (epithelial layer faces out on both sides)
  • Eliminates risk of error in applying products – sidedness issue
  • When placed in water or saline, the graft will unfold and can be repositioned Stores dry at room temperature
  • Suitable for immediate use off the shelf
  • Hydrates rapidly in wound environment
  • Readily adheres to the wound surface
  • Terminally sterilized with gamma radiation to SAL 10-6 in accordance with ISO 11137
  • Not chemically cross-linked
  • Three year shelf life
  • Can be placed with either side in contact with the wound surface
  • If not initially placed properly during surgery the membrane can either be manipulated in place or removed; when placed in water or saline, the membrane will unfold and can be repositioned

Safety

  • Collection of the donor tissue is performed in an aseptic manner by appropriately licensed tissue establishments
  • Placentas are all from planned C-sections which helps to minimize the potential for contamination during recovery
  • Placental donors go through a rigorous pre-screening qualification
  • Placental donors are tested to confirm that they are free from disease
  • Processed in accordance with the safety guidelines provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - Human Cellular and Tissue-base Products (HCT/P) (21 CFR Part 1271)
