A method of preparing sterile human placental allografts by providing a human placental tissue from a donor within 24 hours to 72 hours post-childbirth; removing any visible blood, blood clots, and/or blood components from the human placental tissue without scraping or scrubbing the human placental tissue to preserve structural integrity of the human placental tissue; washing the human placental tissue in an isotonic solution while maintaining the structural integrity of the human placental tissue; dehydrating the human placental tissue thereby forming the dehydrated human placental tissue; resizing the dehydrated human placental tissue into dehydrated human placental tissue portions having predetermined sizes; and sterilizing the dehydrated human placental tissue portions of step (e) thereby forming the sterile human placental allograft. Also disclosed is a sterile human placental allograft produced by the method.
A sterile human placental allograft comprising a human amnion layer, an intact human intermediate spongy layer, and a human chorion layer, the sterile human placental allograft comprising interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) ranging from 1000 to 6000 pg/cm2 and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ranging from 600 to 7500 pg/cm2;
