Product Overview
AmnioShield® amniotic tissue barrier is a minimally manipulated amniotic tissue, sterile processed for homologous use in patients requiring wound covering and tissue protection from scarring.
CLINICAL HISTORY
Amniotic membrane tissue is essential for the development of the fetus during pregnancy and has been used in a clinical setting since the early 1900s. For more than a century numerous reports cite the use of this tissue to treat diabetic foot ulcers, infected wounds, non-healing wounds, and burns.

Over 30,000 Purion-processed amniotic
membranes have been implanted to date with no
adverse reactions reported.1
