Abstract
Objective: To conduct a literature search regarding the benefits associated with the use of human amniotic membrane (MAH) graft in the outpatient and surgical setting. Methods: This is an integrative review, whose research bases were: SciELO, PubMed, Virtual Health Library and Capes. In vivo studies between 2018-2023 were used. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 articles were identified. The human amniotic membrane obtained satisfactory results in the treatment of surgical injuries, burns, ulcers, corneal injuries, acute and chronic wounds, injuries to nerves, tendons, cartilage and others. The studies reported that MAH has analgesia, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action, promotes epithelialization and healing, reduces fibrosis, dressing replacement and discomfort in performing activities and has biocompatibility. Conclusion: Thus, this study was able to investigate the various benefits related to MAH transplantation for the treatment of injuries and wounds. The use of MAH is a promising possibility in the outpatient and surgical setting, considering that they have several benefits for the healing and epithelialization of an injury.
