  • Title: Amniotic membranes as a temporary wound dressing in necrotizing fasciitis.
    Author: Zarutskie P, Silverberg F.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1984 Aug; 64(2):284-7. PubMed ID: 6539885.
    Abstract:
    A diabetic patient was seen at Magee-Womens Hospital with a vulvar abscess extending to the abdomen. Necrotizing fasciitis was diagnosed at operation, and the involved tissue was widely excised. The authors describe the successful use of amniotic membranes as a temporary wound dressing. The benefits of this method over conventional gauze dressings are easy availability, better adherence to the wound, less pain, and negligible cost to the patient.
