Cross-linking of amniotic membranes
Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 1999Human amniotic membrane was cross-linked with chemical and radiation methods to investigate the effect of cross-linking on its physicochemical and biodegradation properties. Radiation cross-linking was performed with gamma-ray and electron beam while chemical cross-linking was with glutaraldehyde (GA).

Preparation and Preservation of Amniotic Membrane
2009The human amniotic membrane (AM) is the innermost layer of the placenta and consists of a single epithelial layer, a thick basement membrane and an avascular stroma. Due to the number of its properties, AM is increasingly used in the treatment of severe ocular surface diseases.

Human Amniotic Membranes for Burns
The American Journal of Nursing, 1975Wound closure is the primary focus in caring for burned patients. Ultimately, this is achieved when the partial-thickness burn re-epithelializes or when split-thickness skin grafts are applied to the full-thickness burn. Until these goals are achieved, a temporary covering must be found to protect the integrity of granulating tissue and preserve a ...

Amniotic membrane (AM) is the innermost, multilayered part of the placenta. When harvested, processed and stored properly, its properties, stemming from AM biological composition, make it a useful tissue for ophthalmic surgery. AM was shown to have several beneficial effects: it promotes epithelization, has antimicrobial effects, decreases inflammation,
