[Technique of harvesting and preparation of amniotic membranes].
Amniotic membrane transplantation is a promising surgical technique for clinical management of ocular surface diseases. According to the first published results, the ease with which this highly available tissue can be prepared and preserved makes this technique very attractive. The aim of our study is to report procurement procedures and the preparation technique for amniotic membrane in accordance with the French tissue transplantation legislation.
