Synthetic Skin Graft Applied On Ankle. Can Amniotic Fluid Be Applied Over Graft Wound To Heal Soon?
HELLO
I HAD SYNTHETIC SKIN GRAFTS APPLIED TO MY LEFT ANKLE 2 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE SEEN NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE HEALING PROCESS. HOW LONG DOES IT USUALY TAKE TO HEAL? I WAS TOLD THE APPLIED BIOLOGIC FROM AMNIOTIC FLUID CAN BE APPLIED OVER THE GRAFT WOUND TO CAUSE FASTER HEALING. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROCEEDURE?
THANK YOU,
ROSE

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Yes amniotic fluid has very good healing property.
It can be used to hasten healing.
Also it will help in better graft uptake and will act as a biological dressing.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
