Excerpt

The human amniotic membrane grafting is used as an adjunctive procedure across surgical specialties and in translational medicine to cultivate stem cells. It is easily available, and techniques of preparation and storage are relatively inexpensive. Experts use amniotic membrane graft (AMG) in multiple specialties, including ophthalmologists, dentists, urologists, burn specialists, ear, nose, and throat surgeons, gynecologists, and researchers in stem cell technology.
