Procurement, Processing, and Storage of Human Amniotic Membranes for Implantation Purposes in Non-Healing Pressure Ulcers.

ABSTRACT: The human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been used as an implant to enhance the regenerative process and control inflammation in different diseases, given their structure, biocompatibility, presence of stem cells and multiple growth factors. The objective of this study was to generate a standardized protocol for obtaining, processing, and storing hAMs that guarantee the conservation of their structural and cellular characteristics as well as their mechanical properties, ensuring their ease of handling, sterility, and quality that allows their implementation for therapeutic purposes in the field of regenerative medicine. The hAMs were obtained from mothers with healthy, full-term, controlled pregnancies and by cesarean section. The hAMs were processed under sterile conditions, manually separat
