Single Layer Amnion Membrane
Functional Role of Amniotic Membrane in the Womb The amniotic membrane is the natural layer surrounding the fetus in the womb. The membrane is composed of two layers: the amnion – the layers closest to the fetus, and the chorion – the layers closest to the mother. Together these layers provide a protective barrier adept at remodeling to accommodate the growing fetus. This protective feature makes amniotic membrane ideal for homologous use as a barrier in a variety of applications.
Single Layer Amnion Membrane is minimally processed once the amnion layer is gently separated from the chorion layer. Single layer amnion is used in a variety of applications that require a thin, transparent elastic membrane to act as a protective barrier. Ocular disc size options are 9mm, 12mm, and 15mm.
