- This hospital uses placenta to help burn patients, here’s how
Sunrise Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas uses placenta-derived amnion membrane to treat burn patients, including 2-year-old Logan who recovered after a severe hand burn. The placenta’s amnion tissue accelerates wound healing and reduces infection risk, with 1,712 placenta donations in Nevada in 2024 through the Nevada Donor Network.
