How Amnion Allografts Support Ophthalmic Procedures
Amniotic membrane allografts are human placental-derived tissue products available for use in ophthalmic procedures as a biological covering for the ocular surface. 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 Eye Care?
An amniotic membrane allograft for eye care is a tissue graft derived from the innermost layer of the human placenta. In ophthalmic settings, clinicians apply these allografts as a biological covering on the ocular surface. The amniotic membrane is a human-derived tissue containing naturally occurring components, and has a long history of use in ophthalmology.
Ophthalmic Procedures Using Amniotic Membrane Allografts
Eye care clinicians often use amniotic membrane allografts as a biological covering for the ocular surface in a variety of in-office and surgical ophthalmic procedures, including:
Ocular surface procedures — The amniotic membrane allograft may be applied as a biological covering at the ocular surface during surgical or in-office procedures.
Corneal procedures — Clinicians may use an amniotic membrane allograft as a biological barrier at the corneal surface where a tissue covering is indicated.
Pterygium surgery — An amniotic membrane allograft may be placed as a biological covering at the surgical site following pterygium excision.
Other ophthalmic procedures — Any ocular surgical site or surface condition where a biological covering is indicated may be an appropriate application for an amniotic membrane allograft.
