Amniotic membrane is an effective burn dressing material

S C Sharma et al. Jpn J Surg. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

Human amniotic membrane is a readily available biological dressing material used to treat burns. It not only prevents oozing of plasma from burn wounds but also relieves pain and controls sepsis. We used human amniotic membrane to treat fifteen burn patients, and this material was effective. The application of this cost-free dressing material warrants further study as it can be made use of in areas where expensive and specialized equipment is not available.
