Amniotic Wound Care Process

Patient Evaluation

• A healthcare provider evaluates the wound to determine if the patient is a good candidate (typically for chronic, non-healing wounds like diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, etc.).

• The patient’s Medicare eligibility is verified since the treatment is covered.

Patch Application

• A sterile dehydrated amniotic membrane patch is trimmed to the size of the wound.

• The patch is placed directly on the wound bed, either dry or moistened with sterile saline depending on the product instructions.

Follow-Up & Reapplication

• The wound is checked regularly, often weekly.

• New patches may be reapplied every 7–10 days until the wound is healed.

• Providers track healing progress with photos and measurements.

Wound Cleaning & Debridement

• The wound is cleansed and, if needed, debrided (dead tissue removed) to prepare the area for the patch.

• This creates the ideal surface for healing and patch adherence.

Dressing the Wound

• A non-stick dressing is applied over the patch.

• Secondary dressings may be added to keep the wound protected and moist.

Typical Treatment Cycle

• Frequency: Once a week

• Duration: Varies—many wounds show significant healing within 3–6 weeks

• Location: At bedside, clinic, or in-facility—no hospital visits needed
