Human amniotic membrane as a valuable biological dressing in the treatment of burns

ABSTRACT

The amniotic membrane was used for the dressing of 30 burned patients. Another 30 cases were treated by the conventional method of dressing and served as a control group. The use of the amniotic membrane as a biological dressing proved its superiority over the conventional group as proved by the rise in the total plasma protein and hemoglobin levels, early preparation of the raw areas, lowering of the bacterial count and higher graft take than the conventional group
