'Wound dressing to be produced by amniotic membrane'

Wound dressing to be produced by amniotic membrane easing the process of burns and skin ulcers recovery.

Amniotic membrane, the innermost layer of fetal membrane can be used as a biological membrane for the management of burns and skin ulcers.
 
"Wound dressing to be produced by amniotic membrane by the end of the year," announced Faculty member of Rouyan Research Center, Naser Eqdami, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

According to Eqdami, "Industrial production of the dressing hinges on various factors, timely supply and appropriate demand to name some."

"Over the past years, amniotic membrane has been used for management of burns and skin ulcers, having said that, the risk of microbial contamination and malodor are of its negatives, which can be sorted out via domestication," underlined the religious cleric.

"After freezing and drying,  amniotic membrane should be held in specific situation, and used free of microbial contamination, thereupon it can be kept one to two years," pointed out the university professor and researcher.

Amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of the placenta consisting of a thick basement membrane and an avascular stromal matrix. It can be used as a graft and as a dressing to facilitate ocular surface reconstruction and to promote healing.

The basement membrane component of amniotic membrane is similar in composition to the conjunctiva. For this reason, current theory suggests that amniotic membrane augments support for limbal stem cells and cornea transient amplifying cells.
