Background: Since the development of the meshed skin grafts and the availability of different meshing expansion sizes, the sizes of the meshed skin grafts interstices like all open wounds became a problem because they increase the metabolic needs and put the patients at the risk of infection. The amniotic membrane satisfies most of the criteria for an ideal biological wound dressing to solve such a problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
