Dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane
Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-012952
Tissue derived from portions of the placenta donated by the patient during a C-section, with potential regenerative activity. Upon placement of the tissue around or on the affected area, dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHCAM), which contains regenerative cytokines, promotes wound angiogenesis and may help heal the wound, restore tissue function and reduce risk of inflammation.
