Acellular Allograft Amniotic Membrane

aril® is a room temperature stable allograft derived from human placental tissue collected from consenting donors. Post-decellularization & stabilization, aril® is packaged in a double pouch packaging system and subjected to low dose gamma irradiation. aril® is an allograft tissue intended for homologous use regulated by 21 CFR Part 1271 and Section 361 of the PHS Act.
aril® is configured as a precision-cut single layer of amnion shaped as an ellipse or disc. The configuration was selected and designed to maximize clinical usable surface area and limit necessary pre-operative manipulation of the graft. Seed Biotech, Inc. has shown a greater than 95% reduction in DNA using their proprietary decellularization process. [9] As a single layer of amnion, it is not necessary to emboss aril® as there is no side-specific orientation to the graft.

Clinical Advantage
aril® offers the clinical advantage of being an acellular precision cut graft designed and produced under industry expert guidance for optimal safety, efficacy, and clinical practicality.
Medical Use
Amniotic membrane is a graft used to protect and jumpstart the healing of a wide range of orthopedic, surgical, ophthalmology, spinal, and wound-covering applications. [7] The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties it exhibits are well-suited for use in ophthalmics. Amniotic membrane has been proven to reduce the formation of adhesions and scar tissue, as well as accelerate healing. [2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Seed Biotech® leverages the natural protection offered by amniotic membrane in its product, in combination with proprietary processing technology, to create an acellular allograft amniotic membrane with clinically proven safety and efficacy.

Amniotic Membrane Origins
The amniotic membrane, the innermost layer of the placenta, has a rich history of use in surgeries across various disciplines. This extensive use has led to a wealth of knowledge about its safety and effectiveness as a catalyst for biological healing. After thorough screening, eligible mothers can consent to donate this tissue via a scheduled Cesarean-section birth. This information is intended to inform and empower medical professionals, researchers, and individuals involved in tissue donation and transplantation.[1]Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
