Family of large amniotic tissue allografts
to allow for a variety of applications
Amniotic membrane is a semi-transparent and resilient membrane that lines the upper cavity of the placenta. Amniotic tissue acts as an immune-privileged protective barrier during fetal development.1 MIAMNION® is applied as a soft tissue barrier and wound covering that helps provide mechanical protection while retaining endogenous growth factors.1,2,4 MIAMNION® preserves the inherent properties of amniotic tissue, maintaining inherent levels of key extracellular matrix molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, growth factors, and cytokines.5
MIAMNION® is available in 3 thicknesses, offering increased versatility across a variety of physician preferences. Orientation stickers and a notch in the upper left-hand corner of the tissue allow for indication of the epithelial layer of the allograft. E-Beam sterilization provides sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6.
