Lime Burns of the Eye: Use of Rabbit Peritoneum to Prevent Severe Delayed Effects

Amniotic Membrane Patching Promotes Healing and Inhibits Proteinase Activity on Wound Healing Following Acute Corneal Alkali Burn

“…Based on the observation made by Brown (1941), who successfully promoted healing and prevented spread of necrosis using rabbit peritoneum to cover the acutely-burned ocular surface, Sorsby et al (Sorsby and Symons, 1946 ;Sorsby, Haythorne and Reed, 1947) reported similar success with the use of amniotic membrane as a patch for treating acute ocular burns. For reasons still not clear, the use of amniotic membrane disappeared from the literature.…”

Equine amniotic membrane transplantation for corneal ulceration and keratomalacia in three horses

“…These include optical clarity, support of epithelial migration and adhesion, solute permeability and stability to corneal proteases. Historically, biomaterials used in ocular surface reconstruction have included partial thickness epidermal grafts, 2 oral mucous membrane, 3 vaginal mucous membrane and fetal membrane, 4 rabbit peritoneum, 5 and amnion 6–10 . Veterinary use of biomaterials to reconstruct the ocular surface have included conjunctival grafts, 11 Gore‐tex, 12 split‐thickness dermal grafts, 13 equine pericardium, 14 peritoneum, 15 equine amniotic membrane, 16 and equine renal capsule 17 in dogs; porcine small intestinal submucosa in dogs, cats and horses; 1,18,19 and human amniotic membrane in rabbits 20 .…”

Transplante de membrana amniótica em casos agudos graves de queimadura ocular química e síndrome de Stevens-Johnson

“…Foi realizado o transplante de MA, recobrindo córnea, fórnix e conjuntiva tarsal até a linha cinzenta, conforme descrito originalmente por Brown (13) . Nos olhos 1, 2 e 5 também foi realizada tarsorrafia lateral.…”

“…A técnica cirúrgica utilizada foi descrita originalmente por Brown (13) (Figura 1A e B). Como ilustrado, a MA foi suturada nas margens palpebrais e nos fórnices como um "patch" para cobrir a área lesada.…”
