Amnion-Derived Tissue

Natural components.
Distinct biological roles.

Amnion is the inner layer of the membrane surrounding a developing baby. Amnion-derived preparations are made from donated human tissue and may be cryopreserved—stored at very low temperatures. The tissue’s natural components include structural materials and signaling molecules.

This list explains general tissue biology. The composition and activity of a finished preparation depend on processing and product-specific documentation. Exact product information is reviewed privately during consultation, before you consent to treatment.

Collagen substrates
Part of the tissue’s structural framework.
Growth factors
Proteins involved in signaling between cells.
Cytokines
Molecules involved in cell communication and immune responses.
Amino acids
Building blocks of proteins, including collagen.
Extracellular-matrix proteins
Proteins that help organize and support tissue structure.
Hyaluronic acid
A water-binding component associated with the tissue matrix.

Before Your Visit

Questions, answered.

Explore the details that matter to you.

Is a regenerative medicine consultation right for me?

A consultation may be helpful if knee or joint symptoms are affecting daily activities and you want to understand your options. Your physician reviews your diagnosis, history, examination, prior treatment, and goals before recommending care.

What makes amnion-derived tissue different from PRP?

Amnion-derived preparations originate from donated human tissue. PRP is prepared from your own blood and concentrates platelets. They differ in composition, evidence, processing, and regulatory status. Your physician explains the option being considered for your care.

What does cryopreserved mean?

Cryopreserved means stored at very low temperatures. Processing affects the characteristics of a tissue preparation. Whether living cells remain after thawing requires product-specific testing; freezing alone does not establish cellular viability.

What should I know before choosing a procedure?

Your physician reviews the exact product, evidence for the proposed use, potential benefits, risks, alternatives, recovery, and costs. Outcomes vary. Injection risks can include soreness, swelling, bleeding, and infection, with additional risks depending on the product and procedure.

What does FDA registration mean for tissue products?

FDA registration identifies a tissue establishment; it is not FDA approval of its products or treatments. Some tissue products meeting all applicable criteria follow a pathway without premarket approval; others require FDA review and authorization. The product, processing, and intended use determine the requirements.
