This study evaluated the use of human amniotic membrane in comparison to polyurethan foil as a graft material for the treatment of iatrogenic splitthickness wounds in a porcine model. Treatment with amniotic membrane as a wound dressing resulted in improved esthetic outcomes, less hypertrophic scarring, accelerated reformation of the basement membrane and to antiangiogenetic effects when compared to polyurethan foil. The results of the present study announce amniotic membrane as a simple and effective technique for the treatment of splitthickness wounds.
