Wounds that have not progressed through the normal process of healing and are open for more than a month are classified as chronic wounds
A 2018 retrospective analysis of Medicare beneficiaries identified that 8.2 million people had wounds with or without infections. The majority of wounds are due to Diabetes.
There have been a variety of treatments available for chronic wound care. Amniotic tissue has received considerable attention from the scientific medical community for its ability to improve the speed of healing of a variety of wound types, including surgical, traumatic, pressure wounds, and wounds caused by diabetes or infection.

The human amniotic membrane has been used in wound care for almost a century. Also, with advancement of technology amniotic tissue can now be cleansed, dehydrated and sterilized, which means that the shelf life of amniotic membrane has been greatly increased simplifying storage and use of the product.
Amniotic Member is derived from living, healthy donors after a full-term pregnancy and a scheduled Caesarean section (C-section). Donors are healthy women who are thoroughly screened for communicable diseases. A careful medical and social history is collected in advance to ensure the mother meet all eligibility requirements.
Allograft products preserve the placenta and fluid, which are typically discarded. Tissues are then tested to ensure viability and safety. Once tested, these tissues are processed using the standards established by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). Their Allografts are sent to a fully accredited, CLIA-certified independent lab for sterility testing prior to release.
Studies have described the placental tissues as “immune privileged” because they rarely evoke an immune response in the human body. This reduces the risk of an adverse immune reaction. Amniotic tissue also has reported anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fibrotic properties.
The first step is to verify that your insurance company will cover the treatment. To do that, we just need a copy of your insurance card and a photo ID. We will call them to verify that they will cover the procedure. Once you are approved, we will contact you and schedule an exam by the medical staff in our clinic. You will be scheduled to receive the treatment soon thereafter.
You will receive a first treatment with Amniotic Membrane. We do these treatments on either Tuesdays or Fridays. The medical staff will provide post treatment instructions as well. There will be mandatory follow-up visits. This is when the medical staff will perform another examination, review how your wound is responding to the treatment and determine if you should receive additional applications, based on medical necessity.
Wharton’s jelly is administered via a syringe directly to the injured site or defect. The application is relatively painless and takes only a few minutes.
The determination of this is made by your physician, depending on your specific case. However, typically, multiple applications are required to achieve the desired clinical outcome.
There have been no reported graft vs. host interactions or drug interactions with our product. As always, your physician will determine if this product is safe for you. To date, no adverse events contributable to Regenative Labs’ products have been reported in over 50,000 applications.
This is at the discretion of your physician; however, it is generally advisable to take it easy for the first 24-48 hours. Beyond that period, there is typically minimal change in daily activities post-application. Wharton’s jelly application takes only minutes and is non-allogeneic, nonsurgical, and minimally invasive. Patients walk in and walk back out the same day.
Wharton’s jelly allografts are connective tissue supplements crafted to substitute missing or damaged tissue in the patient. If imaging reveals the absence or damage of tissue, you may qualify for Wharton’s jelly application.
If you experience joint pain, there could be an underlying structural tissue defect as the root cause. Rather than addressing only the symptoms (pain) with steroids or other conventional methods, Wharton’s jelly focuses on resolving the root cause by addressing the underlying tissue issue.
