Comparative Study of Amniotic Membrane Graft

Vaginal Wall Repair – Using Amniotic Membrane Graft

The majority of the anterior vaginal wall prolapse results from paravaginal defects 70% (lateral detachments from the ATFP) mostly unilateral, on the right side, and at the level of the ischial spines; rather than midline defect. This new understanding of site specific vaginal defects has lead to changes in surgical techniques, to include, abdominal, laparoscopic, and vaginal repairs. Abdominal...

Corneal Graft with Amniotic Membrane Transplantation

A prospective randomised comparative parallel study of amniotic membrane wound graft in the management of diabetic foot ulcers

Our purpose was to compare healing characteristics of diabetic foot ulcers treated with dehydrated human amniotic membrane allografts (EpiFix®, MiMedx, Kennesaw, GA) versus standard of care. An IRB-approved, prospective, randomised, single-centre clinical trial was performed. Included were patients with a diabetic foot ulcer of at least 4-week duration without infection having adequate arterial...

Research Design and Methods: Prospective, randomized, non-blinded study. Eligible patients were randomized to one of 2 groups: Group I: (Control group) included 11 chronic leg ulcers, in which ulcers were treated with conventional moist wound dressings and multilayer compressive bandages. Group II: (Amniotic Membrane group) included 14 leg ulcers. Amniotic membrane was placed in contact with ul...
