- Abstract:
- The amniotic membrane is a thin yet highly durable biomaterial that contains various cytokines, growth factors, and signaling molecules, potentially playing a crucial role in fetal development. Due to the complex nature of wound healing, human amnion products have been developed to aid in tissue regeneration and wound closure. The significant levels of bioactive molecules, such as cytokines and growth factors in amniotic membranes, along with their pain-reducing effects, antibacterial properties, inflammation reduction, and ability to act as a biological barrier, make them particularly advantageous for expediting the wound healing process. This work aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the successful applications and wound healing properties of amniotic membranes, supported by clinical examples. It will also discuss future opportunities and limitations associated with this technique.
