Peer-reviewed literature supporting the established clinical use of amniotic membrane in surgical and wound care applications.
Human amniotic membrane has been used in clinical applications for over a century, with documented use dating back to the early 1900s. The tissue's unique structural and biological properties have supported its adoption across surgical, wound care, and reconstructive medicine.
Amniotic membrane is composed of an extracellular matrix that includes collagen types I, III, IV, V, and VII, along with laminin, fibronectin, and other structural proteins. This composition provides a scaffold that supports tissue integration and wound coverage in various clinical settings.
