Ultrasound Demonstration of the Amniotic Membrane
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1983Abstract. Ultrasound scanning in the first trimester of pregnancy occasionally revealed a thin linear echo in the gestational sac. A total of 360 examinations, which had shown a live fetus with a crown‐rump length of 7–82 mm, equivalent to a menstrual age of 6–14 weeks, were reviewed.

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.

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).

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,

Amniotic Membrane in Ophthalmology
2015Human amniotic membrane has been widely used in ophthalmology for decades, particularly in ocular surface reconstruction. This article reviews its mechanism of action, surgical principles and clinical applications. The fate of transplanted amniotic membrane in the eye and its limitations will also be addressed.
