Amniotic Membranes

Amniotic membranes are natural tissues derived from the inner layer of the placenta (amnion). They’re processed and sterilized for safe use in eye care. Because they’re avascular (contain no blood vessels), there’s a minimal risk of rejection, and they have been used to heal wounds in medicine for decades. BioDOptix is a human amniotic tissue allograft processed using proprietary technology. Human amniotic tissues have been shown clinically and scientifically to support soft tissue repair. BioDOptix is derived from tissues acquired from living, healthy donors after full term pregnancy and a scheduled Caesarean section. These tissues have been minimally processed and preserved to maintain the properties of the amniotic tissues.

Helps to:

• Reduce inflammation and scarring

• Provide a scaffold for new tissue growth

• Speed up healing of the cornea and conjunctiva

• Relieve discomfort and protect the ocular surface during recovery

Common Clinical Applications of Amniotic Tissues:

• Persistent Corneal Defects

• Corneal Ulcers

• Pterygium Surgeries

• Conjunctival Surface Reconstruction

• Bullous Keratopathy

• Chemical/Thermal Burns

• Ocular Surface Reconstruction

• Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS)

• Cicatricial Entropion

• Leaking Blebs post Glaucoma Surgery
