A Study To Analyse The Integrity Of Amniotic And Amnio-Chorionic Membrane With Or Without Antibiotic Treatment By Universal Testing Machine

Abstract

This is a study that compares the tensile strength of the amniotic and amnio-chorionic membrane obtained from ‘C’ section deliveries. Amniotic membrane in recent days are very much used for complex wound healing in all types of wounds, because of the collagen bundles present in them. We formulated this study to analyse the quality and integrity of collagen bundle with or without antibiotics during collection and transportation of placenta form ‘C’ section deliveries that is widely preferred.

We designed this study with 4 groups of samples, A-WA, A-WOA, C-WA and C-WOA with 6 samples in each group (Table-1). All the samples were processed, dehydrated, dried, cut into dumbbell shaped pieces and tested for their tensile strength. In this study the amniotic and amnio-chorionic membranes processed without antibiotics have shown high tensile strength or high membrane integrity and so can be concluded as effective in wound healing, than the counterpart.
