All About Amniotic Grafting
Amniotic grafting can help chronic wounds heal up to 3X faster. But what is an amniotic tissue graft? And how does it work?
BioHeal Solutions is dedicated to making amniotic grafting treatments more accessible to patients here in New York State around the country. Here’s what you need to know about this cutting-edge medical science.
What is Amniotic Grafting?
Amniotic grafting, also referred to as amniotic membrane grafting or amniotic tissue grafting, is the process of attaching a graft made from amniotic tissue over an open wound. These grafts contain amnion and chorion, membranes with regenerative healing properties. The result is faster tissue growth and better healing.
There are several types of amniotic grafting procedures for a wide range of medical and surgical treatments. At BioHeal Solutions, we work with manufacturers that produce amniotic grafting products for wound care. Many of our clients treat:
Chronic wounds — particularly in senior patients
Diabetic sores and ulcers
Post-surgery incisions
These wounds can be fully healed up to 3X faster with the use of amniotic membranes. Plus, the procedure is non-invasive and pain-free.
How Does it Work?
Amniotic membranes are harvested from donated, full-term placentas after scheduled C-sections. Manufacturers then collect the amnion and chorion to create grafts, or patches, in a range of sizes and thicknesses.
These grafts can be applied in a variety of ways: many surgeons use them in the treatment of ulcers or in ocular surgery. When it comes to wound care, the graft can be placed directly on the wound to act as artificial skin.
Many of our clients offer amniotic grafting through mobile care clinics. These clinics come directly to the patients’ homes, treating them where they are most comfortable to avoid the stress of a hospital trip.
How We Help
BioHeal Solutions is a New York-based distributor of amniotic grafting products. We partner with manufacturers to bring amniotic grafting to more doctors, clinics, and mobile care centers throughout the country. By forging these partnerships, we help make better healing more accessible for patients of all ages and income levels.
The Problem: Lack of Awareness & Access
Amniotic grafting is perfectly safe and ethical. However, because it is a relatively new procedure, it is still poorly understood. BioHeal Solutions is on a mission to change that. We want everyone to be aware of this treatment and understand how it works.
Our solution? Spreading awareness to improve access. The more doctors use amniotic grafting products, the more accessible, affordable, and commonplace this healing solution will become. That’s why we distribute free information to caregivers and patients alike. We work directly with care providers to make sure they understand the benefits of amniotic grafting and know which products work best for their practice.
