ABSTRACT
There are several reasons for skin damage, including genetic factors, disorders, acute trauma, hard-to-heal wounds, or surgical interventions. Whatever the cause, wounds have a substantial impact on people who experience them, their caregivers and the healthcare system. Advanced wound care products have been researched and developed, providing an opportunity for faster and more complete healing. Tissue engineering (TE) is a promising strategy that can overcome limitations when choosing a graft for a wound. Amniotic membrane is a highly abundant, readily available, and inexpensive biological tissue that does not raise ethical concerns, with many applications in different fields of TE and regenerative medicine. It has attractive physical characteristics, such as elasticity, rigidity and mechanical strength, among others. The effects can also be potentiated by association with other substances, such as hyaluronic acid and growth factors. This paper describes new perspectives involving the use of amniotic membranes.
