Use of the Amniotic Membrane in Large Wound Epithelialization

Use of the Amniotic Membrane in Large Wound Epithelialization. Phase I Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the security application of the amniotic membrane in extensive wounds in the granulation phase.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Acute wounds in granulation phase with a minimum area of 100 cm2.
