In brief

This case series describes three patients, two with venous leg ulcers and one with a nonhealing postsurgical foot wound, treated with a fresh hypothermically stored amniotic membrane allograft plus standard care. The two venous leg ulcers closed by day 7 and day 14, and the surgical wound had shrunk by 81.82% by day 42 and healed on day 71. With three patients and no comparison group, these are early observations; the authors say the series was used to inform larger diabetic foot ulcer and venous leg ulcer trials.
