Out of these ten cases eight wounds healed completely but in remaining two patients skin grafting was required .There were 20 cases of deep wounds. Out of which none showed any response with single application. Two cases (4%) healed totally following two application of amnion. For the rest eighteen cases, further applications were needed to obtain some conclusive results. With three applications, healthy granulation tissue appeared in two cases (4%). For remaining sixteen (32%) cases. (4%) healed completely and in 14 cases (28%) From the above table, it is seen that 28 superficial wounds healed completely while only in 2 cases the raw area was converted into healthy Granulation.
