Its basic science is discussed in detail — anatomy, biological and biomechanical properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be procured from the placenta in normal vaginal deliveries and from Caesarean Sections. Processing is by freeze-drying or by air-drying process with sterilisation using gamma irradiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product has low antigenicity, has anti-microbial properties with ability to enhance epithelisation with marked relief of pain. It is useful as a dressing for wounds — flap wounds, burn wounds, injury wounds, diabetic ulcers, leprous ulcers and post-surgery wounds and post-radiation wounds. It is also used as a biological scaffold for cells in tissue engineering. Its ophthalmic applications include treatment of corneal ulcers and conjunctival tumours. Oral uses include gingiva depigmentation and periodontal regeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Aziz Nather\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, MBBS (Sing), FRCS (Ed), FRCS (Glas), MD (Sing), FAMS (Sing), Senior Consultant, Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Chairman of NUH Diabetic Foot Team, Director of NUH Tissue Bank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32123152990321,"sku":"9789813226340","price":219.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/products\/Human_Amniotic_Membrane.jpg?v=1602759601","url":"https:\/\/epigrambookshop.xyz\/products\/human-amniotic-membrane-basic-science-and-clinical-application","provider":"Epigram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
