ABSTRACT
Amniotic membrane transplantation is an established therapeutic and biological adjunct for several clinical situations, including treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and ocular surface disease. However, poorly standardized and validated clinical preparation and storage procedures can render the final product highly variable and an unpredictable biomaterial. We have therefore developed a novel, standardized method for processing and dry-preserving amniotic membrane, minimizing biochemical, compositional, and structure damage to produce a potentially superior membrane suitable for clinical use. The intellectual property associated with this methodology was patented by the University of Nottingham and licensed to NuVision® Biotherapies which formed the basis of the Tereo® manufacturing process which is used to manufacture Omnigen®.
