About Product

AmchoPlast is processed using Agnes Proprietary Technology that is in accordance to American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) standards and designed to meet the product specifications laid out in the US Pharmacopeia, this ensuring highest safety and performance consistency

Product Specification

AmchoPlast is a dry, thick and multi-layer tissue that is not only semipermeable but also bio-absorbable:

Layers: Amnion, Chorion, Basement Membrane & Trophoblast

Thickness: Not less than 60 microns

Moisture Content: Not more than 15%

Embossing: “LC” as a guide to support correct placement on the wound

Processing

Donated placental tissues go through the steps of

Donor Screening: Includes testing for presence of infectious agents

Tissue Washing: Cocktail of antibiotics & media used to remove microbial and red cell contaminants

Dehydration: Under controlled conditions by dry air

Cutting: Using lasers to obtain precisely tissue of the right size

Sterilization: Terminally sterilized using gamma irradiation

Packaging and Storage: Placed inside multiple poly-foil peel pouches and an outer mono carton box and stored

Testing and release: Products shall be tested as per specification for release.

Sizes and Shapes

To ensure limited or no wastages AmchoPlast is available in different shapes (Square or rectangle) with 0.5 to 5 mm pore sizes to suit patient requirements. The pore size used depends on the size of the wound and the amount of exudate (the fluid formed in the wounds).

3.0x3.0 cm2

5.0x5.0 cm2

8.0x6.0 cm2

12.0x6.0 cm2
Product Advantages

Unlike artificial skin substitutes or dressings, the human amniotic membrane which natively plays the role of providing a protective barrier for the fetus in the womb, by essentially playing the same function in wound care management is thus an ideal cover. Here are some of its advantages

Safe

Has very low levels of HLA antigens and no immune rejection, and therefore can safely be used as an allograft without requiring tissue matching between donor and patient

Certified to be free from microbial and viral contaminants

Room Temperature Storage

Does not require refrigeration and can be stored in a clean and dry environment at ambient room temperature.

Under appropriate conditions the product has an expiry date of greater than 2 years

Compatibility

Can be used along with other wound treatment protocols such as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO)

Can be placed under an external dressing

Ease of Use

Does not require refrigeration or thawing and can be directly applied to the prepared wound bed

Being several times thicker than other single or bilayer allografts it does not easily fold into itself when applying, whilst also offering enhanced barrier protection

Retained Biological Components

Contains various regulatory components in the allograft that support and aid in wound healing.

Clinical Uses

It may be used as a covering for surgical sites, internal and exterior wounds (listed below) wherein it helps in protecting the wound bed, prevents fluid loss, restricts entry of microbes, thus aiding the development of granulation tissue and ultimately healing

Chronic Wounds

Pressure ulcers

Venous ulcers

Surgical Reconstruction

Surgical wounds

Soft tissue reconstruction

Donor sites

Traumatic wounds

Case Studies

Here are some of the case studies showcasing how AmchoPlast, as a biological wound cover has helped in the management and recovery of various types of wounds.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer | 62-year-old Male

Chronic, non-healing diabetic foot ulcer healed at 10 weeks following 11 application of AmchoPlast

Neuropathic Ulcer | 63-year-old Male

Non-healing neuropathic ulcer healed at 3 weeks following 4 application of AmchoPlast

Venous Ulcer | 48-year-old Male

Non-healing venous ulcer healed at 6 weeks following 7 application of AmchoPlast

Traumatic Wound | 38-year-old Male

Non-healing traumatic wound healed at 5 weeks following 6 application of AmchoPlast

Diabetic Foot Ulcers | 58-year-old Male

Chronic, non-healing diabetic foot ulcer healed at 7 weeks following 8 application of AmchoPlast

Application Instructions

Wound bed preparation:

Clean the wound with normal saline solution and perform sharp debridement with a sterile instrument (if slough is present).

Choosing the right size:

Measure the wound and choose appropriately sized AmchoPlast allograft.

Unpacking AmchoPlast:

Use sterile forceps to take out AmchoPlast from the inner foil pouch to avoid contamination.

Ensuring proper orientation:

To ensure appropriate orientation, check whether the embossed letters “LC” are displayed correctly when read from left to right.

Applying the membrane and hydration:

Apply AmchoPlast on the wound gently with sterile forceps and spread out the membrane to maximise the contact with the wound bed. Add a few drops of normal saline to hydrate the membrane.

External wound dressing:

A sterile non-adherent absorbent secondary dressing must be placed on top of the allograft to control bleeding and prevent contamination and secured with a bandage.

Allograft Re-application:

AmchoPlast can be applied on a biweekly basis until the wound heals (Dressing to be changed every 48 hours).
