Amniotic Membrane for Ocular Surface Tissue Repair
AmnioMatrix is a biological product derived from the amnion layer of placental membranes and is used in ophthalmic applications to support healing of damaged eye tissue. Placental membranes have been used in clinical medicine since the mid-20th century for their protective and regenerative properties.
In regenerative health applications, AmnioMatrix acts as a natural biological scaffold that supports re-cellularisation, protects delicate tissue, and promotes recovery following injury or surgery.
What Is AmnioMatrix?
AmnioMatrix is produced from the amnion membrane, the innermost layer of the placenta. This membrane contains naturally occurring growth factors and cytokines that play a role in tissue repair and regeneration.
When applied in ophthalmic settings, AmnioMatrix helps create a protective environment that supports healing while reducing discomfort and shielding damaged areas of the eye.
How AmnioMatrix Works
In ophthalmic use, AmnioMatrix:
Provides a biological scaffold for new cell growth
Supports re-cellularisation of damaged tissue
Helps protect exposed or injured areas of the eye
Contributes to a healing environment through naturally occurring bioactive components
Its structure makes it well suited for regenerative health treatments where delicate ocular surfaces require protection and support.
Clinical Applications in Regenerative Health
AmnioMatrix may be used in patients experiencing:
- Corneal or conjunctival ulcers
- Chemical burns or traumatic eye injuries
- Ophthalmic surgical procedures, including pterygium removal
- Reconstruction of the conjunctiva
Use is determined by an ophthalmologist based on clinical need.
Ordering and Availability
AmnioMatrix is supplied for clinical use only.
Your ophthalmologist will determine whether AmnioMatrix is required as part of a surgical or therapeutic treatment plan and will arrange ordering directly where appropriate.
