Healing Chronic Wounds with Amniotic Skin Grafts

What Are Amniotic Skin Grafts?

Amniotic skin grafts are derived from the innermost layer of the placenta, donated by mothers during cesarean births. These grafts are rich in natural growth factors, collagen, and anti-inflammatory proteins that support tissue regeneration. They are sterile, safe, and ethically sourced.

How Amniotic Grafts Help Wound Healing

For patients with venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers, traditional wound care may not be enough. These types of wounds often become chronic due to poor circulation, pressure, infection, or underlying conditions like diabetes. Amniotic skin grafts offer several benefits:

• Reduce inflammation and scar tissue

• Stimulate new tissue growth

• Decrease pain

• Lower the risk of infection

• Promote faster healing, even in long-standing wounds

Who Can Benefit?

Patients with:

• Chronic diabetic foot ulcers that haven’t responded to conservative care

• Non-healing venous stasis ulcers

• Wounds with exposed bone or tendon

• Recurrent ulcers due to neuropathy or poor circulation

If you’re struggling with a wound that won’t heal, especially if you have diabetes or venous insufficiency, amniotic graft therapy may be the solution you need.
