What is amniotic allograft?

Amniotic tissue allografts are human amniotic fluid and/or amniotic membrane tissues that have been minimally manipulated into a liquid or patch format. Amniotic tissue allografts can be placed on or around a wound to serve the same function that they do in utero, which is to cover, protect and nourish tissue.

What is an amnion skin graft?

Amniotic tissues contain many regenerative cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix molecules including proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, and collagens I, III, and IV. Dehydrated amnion/chorion grafts are currently used to treat a variety of wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and burns.

Where does amnion skin graft come from?

Amniotic membrane is tissue obtained from human placenta rich in cytokines, growth factors, and stem cells that possess the ability to inhibit infection, improve healing, and stimulate regeneration.

What is the use of amnion?

Amnion can be used in the treatment in partial-thickness burns, where it has been shown to promote wound healing, relieve pain, reduce scar formation, and reduce burn wound infections. It can also be used as a temporary dressing to protect a clean, excised wound prior to skin grafting.

What is PalinGen or ProMatrX?

The PalinGen® and ProMatrX® line of products are human allografts processed from healthy placental tissues.

What is an amnion patch?

Amnion Patches are regenerative allografts that may be used as a therapeutic agent in numerous clinical applications. Due to its fetal origin, the innate capability of the tissue supports regenerative rather than scar-mediated healing.

What is Xcellistem?

Xcellistem wound powder by Stemsys is a FDA-approved biological agent that acts like a magnet. “You put the powder on a wound and it will introduce stem cells into the wound and allow the wound to heal.” Said Dr. Sudarsky. The powder is applied in the doctor’s office and the dressing is changed every two to three days.

What are amniotic products?

Information On Our Amniotic Products An advancement in regenerative medicine, the Amnio Technology line of products are made from human amniotic membrane and fluid. These amniotic tissues, or allografts, are transplanted to provide protection and support for native tissues in the body.

Is amnion a chorion?

The amnion is found on the innermost part of the placenta. It lines the amniotic cavity and holds the amniotic fluid and the developing embryo. The chorion, on the other hand, is the outer membrane that surrounds the amnion, the embryo, and other membranes and entities in the womb.

What is the amnion made of?

Human amnion consists of amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) on a basement collagenous membrane, an acellular compact layer filled with reticular fibers, a fibroblast layer with Hofbauer cells/histiocytes, and a highly hygroscopic spongy layer with fibrils between the chorion and the amniotic sac [32].
