Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common inquiries below

What types of grafts do you distribute?

We distribute placental amniotic allografts made from ethically sourced placental membrane tissue. Intended for homologous use to supplement a recipient's tissue while providing a wound covering and support for native tissue. Human amniotic membrane forms the innermost layer of placenta tissue. The avascular membrane acts as a protective barrier for the developing fetus. Its properties provide a wide variety of potential benefits.

How are your grafts processed?

Placental amniotic allografts are made from ethically sourced placental membrane tissue. Women donate their placenta after a scheduled cesarean section. It is then cleaned, sterilized, and checked for anything that is disease-transmissible. It is then refined and processed in a lab where it is placed on a dual layer membrane sheet similar to a Listerine strip on your tongue.
