Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most serious diabetic complications. DFU is an open wound that usually occurs 
in the foot sole due to poor blood glucose control, peripheral neuropathy, and poor circulation. The human amniotic allograft membrane is a biologic wound dressing derived from the amniotic membrane. It contains amino acids, nutrients, cytokines, and growth factors that make the growth process easier.
