Safety Profile
• Obtained from live, healthy, thoroughly screened donors
• Human allograft regulated by the FDA under 21 CFR part 1271 and section 361 of the Public Health Service Act
• Used in medicine for over 100 years:
No documented severe adverse events (SAEs)
No noted graft-host rejections have been documented with products with amniotic tissues
No demonstrated amplification of existing disease related to infection, inflammation NOT TUMOR FORMING
Recovery and Processing
Recovery:Amniotic tissue donated by healthy mothers at the time of scheduled cesarean section. Medical and social history is prescreened by the Medical Director through an intensive and complete medical review and pre-natal evaluation prior to delivery. The recovery is performed by American Association of Tissue Bank (AATB) accredited technicians utilizing aseptic technique.
Processing:Processed at AATB accredited facility. Tissue is tested at the time of collection, prior to processing, and again after preparation. All processing is performed following the Food and Drug Administration's Tissue Reference Group (FDATRG) guidelines. From initial recovery to final processing, protocols and procedures have been implemented to meet or exceed all applicable industry standards for use of human tissue products.
FDA Regulatory:Regulated by FDA as human tissue under 21 CFR Part 1271 and Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act. FDA considers use of amnion for void fill and wound covering to be homologous use.

Clinical Uses of Amniotic Tissue
Due to the unique characteristics of amniotic tissue and its designation as an allograft for
homologous use, the practicing physician can use the product in any way that he/she deems medically appropriate without the challenges of medical devices/drugs that often come with the “on/off label” stigma
Clinical Applications (Injectable)Ortho/Sports: Cartilage injuries, partial ligament tears,
tendinosis/tendinitis, arthritis, fractures, bone bruises, knee/ hip/shoulder arthritis, wrist/forearm/elbow tendinopathies, post-op pain
Podiatry: Tendinopathies, Plantar Fasciitis, arthritis, post-op pain/arthropathy
Spine: Intradiscal and facet injection procedures, fusion surgery, disc disease, annular tears
Wounds: Diabetic, traumatic, vascular, pressure
Plastics: Skin rejuvenation, scar therapy
