Amniotic Membrane and Amnion-Conditioned Media Promote Chronic Wound Healing – A Case Report

Chronic skin wounds, often caused by underlying health conditions such as diabetes, obesity and malnutrition are often stalled in the inflammation stage and are unable to progress through all phases of wound healing. Current standard of care is insufficient to resolve many chronic wounds, leading to increased risk of infection and comorbidities. Regenerative therapies such as amniotic membrane and amnion cellderived fluid, have been used to promote successful chronic wound healing and repair. In this case report, a combination of a conditioned media from human amnion-derived cells and dehydrated amniotic membrane were used in combination to treat a ten month, chronically open wound.
