Amniotic Membrane Allografts for Dermatology Procedures

Amniotic membrane allografts are human placental-derived tissue products available for use in dermatology settings as a biological covering over wound sites. Each allograft is minimally manipulated and intended for homologous use. Amnion processes every amniotic membrane allograft using its proprietary AmnioCleanse™ technology to ensure sterility, safety, and consistency.

What Is an Amniotic Membrane Allograft for Dermatology?

An amniotic membrane allograft for dermatology is a tissue graft derived from the innermost layer of the human placenta. In dermatologic settings, clinicians apply these allografts as a biological covering over wound sites following skin procedures. The amniotic membrane is a human-derived tissue and has a history of use in wound care applications.

Dermatologic Wound Sites Where Amniotic Membrane Allografts Are Used

Dermatology clinicians often use amniotic membrane allografts as a biological covering over a variety of wound sites, including:

Post-biopsy wound sites – An amniotic membrane allograft may be applied as a biological covering over wound sites following skin biopsy procedures where a tissue covering is indicated.

Melanoma excision sites – Clinicians may use an amniotic membrane allograft as a biological covering over wound sites following melanoma removal procedures.

Mohs surgery wound sites – An amniotic membrane allograft may be placed as a biological covering over wound sites following Mohs micrographic surgery where a tissue covering is indicated.

Post-excision wound sites – Clinicians may apply an amniotic membrane allograft as a biological covering over wound sites following dermatologic excision procedures.

Other dermatologic wound sites – Any dermatologic wound site where a biological covering is indicated may be an appropriate application for an amniotic membrane allograft.
