Application of Fetal Membranes and Natural Materials for Wound and Tissue Repair.

ABSTRACT: The human fetal membrane is a globally accepted biological biomaterial for wound and tissue repair and regeneration in numerous fields, including dermatology, ophthalmology, and more recently orthopedics, maxillofacial and oral surgery, and nerve regeneration. Both cells and matrix components of amnion and chorion are beneficial, releasing a diverse range of growth factors, cytokines, peptides, and soluble extracellular matrix components. Beside fetal membranes, numerous natural materials have also been reported to promote wound healing. The biological properties of these materials may potentiate the pro-healing action of fetal membranes. Comparison of such materials with fetal membranes has been scant, and their combined use with fetal membranes has been underexplored. This review present
