amnion membrane powder

Amnion membrane powder is a cell-free biologic wound healing product developed by the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) for the treatment of burns and skin wounds. The product is composed of lyophilized (freeze-dried), gamma irradiation-sterilized fragments of human amniotic membrane derived from the placental amnion. It is designed for topical application to accelerate wound healing and promote skin regeneration by providing a biological scaffold and retaining essential nutrients, growth factors, and proteins. The technology was exclusively licensed to XCell Biologix in 2017 for commercialization in severe burn care and chronic wound markets. A Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03754218) has evaluated its safety and efficacy for donor site wound healing in patients requiring skin grafts.
