Safe and Sterile Amniotic Membrane for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Severe Burns, and Other Medical Applications

Safe and Sterile Amniotic Membrane for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Severe Burns, and Other Medical Applications

This project aims to prepare human amniotic membrane and utilize it as a biological dressing for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, and selected ocular disorders. The project focuses on evaluating the effects of different processing conditions on the amniotic membrane, including pre- and post-dehydration states and exposure to gamma irradiation at varying doses.

Special emphasis is placed on assessing structural integrity, cellular viability, and functional properties of the membrane following processing, in order to determine optimal conditions for safe clinical application.

The amniotic membrane is distinguished by its rich content of

  • Stem cells and progenitor cells
  • Epithelial and stromal tissue cells
  • Bioactive and nourishing compounds with low immunogenicity

Project Objectives

  • To prepare the amniotic membrane using sterile, safe, and standardized processing methods.
  • To produce amniotic membrane based biological dressings that promote accelerated wound healing and tissue regeneration.
