Review of methods of amniotic membrane preservation
https://doi.org/10.17021/2712-8164-2025-3-6-11
Abstract
Methods for covering wound surfaces during surgical treatment of various diseases necessitate the use of the patient's own tissues, synthetic constructs, and allogeneic donor material. Among the latter, the amniotic membrane is attracting increasing interest from researchers. However, preserving the structure and properties of the amnion requires the use of specific preservative media and temperature regimes. In this article, we provide an overview of several methods for preserving the amniotic membrane.
