Uses Documented in Literature

Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove a woman’s uterus (also known as the womb). During the surgery the whole uterus is usually removed. Your doctor may also remove your fallopian tubes and ovaries. The risk of post-operative pain can be successfully mitigated through the use of amnion-derived allografts, and prevent formation of scarring at the surgical site.

Nephrectomy

Nephrectomy (nuh-FREK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of a kidney.

During a complete (radical) nephrectomy, the surgeon removes the entire kidney. In a partial nephrectomy, the surgeon removes diseased tissue from a kidney and leaves healthy tissue in place. A nephrectomy is most often done to treat kidney cancer or to remove a seriously damaged or diseased kidney.

Improving Outcomes with Amnio Technology

Amnion-derived allografts have been an effective modality to reduce scarring, minimize risk of adhesions, and heal tissue faster after surgery.  Amnion-derived therapies work by releasing essential Growth Factors as well as recruiting stem cells to the site of damage to promote tissue regeneration.  Stem cells are primitive cells that can undergo differentiation to form different types of cells in the body, such as bone, blood, cartilage, tendon, ligaments, etc. These cells are responsible for healing tissue damages by generating new healthy cells. However, with age, the body loses its ability to attract enough stem cells to the site of injury. In this regard, amnio therapy delivers a high concentration of proteins, carbohydrates, cytokines, keratinocytes and growth factors to feed stem cells at the affected area to promote rapid, natural healing.
