Abstract

In a variety of clinical applications human amniotic membrane (AM) has been employed as a graft biomaterial.  There is tenacious issue associated with preparation, storage, and sterilization. To decode these issues, hyperdry AM (HD-AM) using far-infrared rays, vacuum air, and microwaves are developed and then sterilized by g-ray irradiation. Amniotic membrane is a thin membrane that completely covers the embryo on the inner side of the fetal placenta. The membrane contains various growth factors, proteins and stem cell reserves that may enhance wound healing with tissue regeneration.  The amniotic membrane has other biological properties important for Tissue engineering, including anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fibrosis, anti-scarring, as well as low immunogenicity.
