AlloAid Amniotic Liquid Allograft

A cryopreserved allograft derived from human amniotic fluid.

Amniotic fluid is a versatile, powerful tissue which supports the development of the fetus in utero. The properties of amniotic fluid which benefit the fetus also make it an effective material for covering wounds1-3,7, while at the same time contributing to an environment conducive to the regeneration of healthy tissue.4-7

Allogenic human birth tissues, including amniotic fluid, have an established record of use in a variety of surgical and clinical settings. Published literature suggests that amniotic fluid may contain important growth factors1,2,6, extracellular matrix2,5,6 molecules, hyaluronic acid1,4-6, fibronectin2, laminin4, prostaglandins3, and cells.7

Benefits of amniotic fluid may include:
  • A safe, natural covering for wounds1,7
  • Inhibiting influence on inflammation3
  • Reduced fibrosis, scarring, and adhesion at the surgical site4

Intended for topical application as a covering over wounds or areas of localized inflammation. Birth tissues are recovered during planned Cesarean sections and processed aseptically in a manner to preserve the graft’s inherent properties. Though well documented in the clinical literature, these benefits of amnion have not been studied using AlloAid Amniotic Liquid Allograft products.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

  • Store at -70°C or colder. Thaw only prior to use.
  • Allow product to thaw by standing at room temperature and apply directly to the injury, wound, or area of inflammation.
  • See instructions for use for a more detailed description.

Tissue Safety

  • Placental donors go through a rigorous pre- screening qualification and are tested according to FDA guidelines for infectious disease.
  • Collection of the donor tissue is performed during planned Cesarean section delivery by appropriately licensed personnel.
  • Processed in accordance with the standards and guidelines established by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).
