Abstract
RECENT INNOVATIONS WITH AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE GRAFTS INCLUDE USAGE AS POWDER, SOLUTIONS, AND SANDWICHING WITH POLYMER-BASED SCAFFOLDS. AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE GRAFTS CAN PROVIDE TENSILE STRENGTH TO THE CORNEA AND THE REST OF THE OCULAR SURFACE IF COMBINED WITH OTHER BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS. AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO DISCUSS THE PREPARATION OF AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE, POWDER, AND SOLUTIONS AND HOW TO COMBINE IT WITH POLYMER SCAFFOLDS AND USE IN ACUTE STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME, CHEMICAL BURNS, CORNEAL THINNING AND MELT DUE TO VARIOUS PATHOLOGIES, PTERYGIUM SURGERY, AND AFTER EXCISION OF LIMBAL DERMOID AND OCULAR SURFACE SQUAMOUS NEOPLASIA. THE USE OF MULTILAYERED AMG FOR DIVERSE ETIOLOGIES SUCH AS THINNING AND PERFORATION DUE TO NEUROTROPHIC ULCERS AND CORNEAL MELTS IN MICROBIAL KERATITIS WILL BE DISCUSSED.
