Relationship Between Dried Amnion Sheet and Dry Powdered Amnion with Changes in Wound Area in Acute Wounds
Abstract
Dried sheet amnion has long been used as a wound treatment that provides better results than standard general care. In addition to dried amnion sheet, dry powdered amnion preparations have begun to be used for wound care. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dry powdered amnion compared to dried amnion sheets in wound healing, and to compare both treatments with standard acute wound care. Sixty-three healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: dried amnion sheet treatment group, dry powdered amnion treatment group, and standard wet wound care control group. The research procedure began with the administration of anesthesia using penthotal at a dose of 10mg/kgBW intramuscularly. The backs of the rats were shaved and a 2x1cm wound was designed using a GOAL razor blade after disinfection with 10% betadine solution and 1:30 savlon. Wounds were made on the backs of the rats, and treatments were given according to the group. The wound area was evaluated at time points 6 hours after treatment, day 2 and day 5. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of the treatments. Both treatments with dry powdered amnion and dried amnion sheets significantly reduced the wound area compared to the control group. However, treatment with dried amnion sheets showed higher efficacy in reducing wound area compared to treatment with dry powdered amnion. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in wound area reduction between groups. Dry powdered amnion and dried amnion sheets were effective in reducing wound area compared to standard wet wound care. Treatment with dried amnion sheets showed greater efficacy than treatment with dry powdered amnion.
