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

membranes have been implanted to date with no
adverse reactions reported.1
