Tissue graft derived from placenta with exposed basement membrane
A patent application (Publication Number: US20230414670A1) discloses a tissue graft comprising a first membrane made of amnion with additional membranes laminated to it. The first membrane includes an exposed basement membrane and stromal layer, with the additional membranes adjacent to the stromal layer. The graft can consist of various membranes such as amnion, chorion, allograft pericardium, acellular dermis, and others, either individually or in combination. The number of membranes laminated to the first membrane can range from 1 to 10, with a thickness of 0.2 mm to 10 mm. The graft can be used for various medical applications, including wound treatment, dental defects, tissue regeneration, and more.
Furthermore, the patent application describes a method for preparing the tissue graft, involving obtaining a placenta, cleaning it, separating the amnion and chorion layers, removing epithelium cells to expose the basement membrane, laminating additional membranes, and dehydrating the layered tissue graft. The method includes steps such as cleaning the placenta with a hyperisotonic solution, soaking the amnion in an antibiotic solution, physically cleaning the amniotic membrane, and dehydrating the tissue graft on a drying fixture. The prepared tissue graft can be used for various medical procedures, including treating mucosal tissue wounds, dental defects, and other applications. The method provides detailed instructions on preparing the tissue graft, ensuring its effectiveness and safety for medical use.
