Amnio Disc
Dehydrated Amniotic Membrane Designed for Advanced Healing and Naturally Powerful.
Akriti Ophthalmic Pvt Ltd introduces Amnio-Disc‚Ѣ‚Äîadvanced dehydrated amniotic membrane discs designed for superior healing across medical applications.
Ophthalmology: Amnio-Disc‚Ѣ is designed to treat ocular surface conditions like corneal ulcers, chemical burns, and pterygium surgery, accelerating healing while reducing inflammation.
what is Amnio-disc Amnio Disc is processed specially from Amniotic membrane which is a biological material derived from the placental tissue and has gained prominence in the field of wound healing due to its unique properties. Its applications in wound healing include:
Promoting Healing: Amniotic membrane contains growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components that promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, thereby accelerating the wound healing process.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: The membrane has anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce inflammation at the wound site, which is beneficial in managing chronic wounds and preventing excessive scarring.
Antimicrobial Effects: The amniotic membrane exhibits antimicrobial properties, which help in preventing infections in wounds. This is particularly important in non-healing ulcers and burns.
Barrier Function: By acting as a physical barrier, the amniotic membrane protects the wound from external contaminants, reducing the risk of infection and further injury.
Moisture Retention: The amniotic membrane helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is crucial for effective healing. A moist environment can promote better granulation tissue formation and epithelialization.
Use in Specific Wounds: Amniotic membrane is particularly useful in the treatment of various types of wounds, including:
Diabetic ulcers
Venous ulcers
Pressure ulcers
Surgical wounds
Burns
Traumatic wounds
Chronic Wounds Treatment: Because of its regenerative properties, amniotic membrane can be particularly effective in treating chronic wounds that have not responded to conventional therapies.
Surgical Applications: In ophthalmology, amniotic membrane is used as a graft for surface reconstruction of the eye, such as in cases of corneal ulcerations or chemical burns.
Regenerative Medicine: Beyond wound healing, the use of amniotic membrane extends to regenerative medicine applications, such as in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, skin grafting, and tissue engineering.
Ease of Use: Amniotic membrane is relatively easy to handle and can be stored for extended periods when preserved properly, making it a convenient option for clinicians.
