Amniotic Membrane Transplantation

Amniotic membrane transplantation is a medical procedure that uses the thin tissue surrounding a baby in the womb, called the amniotic membrane. This tissue is rich in nutrients and has healing properties. Doctors transplant it onto damaged skin or other tissues to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and prevent scarring. It's commonly used in eye surgeries, wound care, and to treat burns. The use of amniotic membrane is considered safe, as it is processed to eliminate any risks of infection, and it can significantly improve recovery outcomes in various medical conditions.
