What is amniotic tissue allograft used for?
- This is used as regenerative medicine, also known as orthobiologics, to help stimulate the healing process. This is used similarly to platelet rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspiration concentrate, and adipose cells. This can be used for arthritis, tendinopathy (rotator cuff injury), and ligament injuries (ankle sprain).
Can this be rejected by your immune system?
- When you think of transplants, typically you think of large organs, like liver or kidney, which do need immunosuppression to minimize rejection of the graft. Fortunately, the placenta is a unique environment between the mother and the child that is naturally low in immune reactive cell markers. This tissue has been used on thousands of patients and there has been no issues with rejection.
