"The growth of the fabric bank was exponential, to the point that by the end of the year we hope to receive two new freezers, with storage capacity at less than 70 degrees, acquired via national public tender," said Balmelli.
He also explained that in a daily basis, the amniotic membrane is used as transitory coverage of burns, especially in children and in patients with difficult wounds, not only in the CENQUER, but also in other hospitals, more than the bone tissue.
“The tissues go through a sterilization process and a time in which they are studied bacteriologically to know that they are not contaminated, and thus use them in transplants.With the irradiator, time is shortened.When passing through this team, the tissues are sterilized, which provides greater security in the process for transplantation, ”he emphasized.
