Objective: The amniotic membrane, a thin membrane, may be used as a temporary cover on deep burns. The objective of this study is to identify the differences regarding bacterial contamination between membranes of vaginal and cesarean deliveries, as well as to assess the possibility of the clinical use of stored membranes.Methods: Twelve membranes were obtained from women submitted to vaginal and cesarean deliveries at the Obstetric Center of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Each amniotic membrane was stored in five different flasks containing a physiological solution. Samples were obtained from these flasks for analysis on days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28. These samples were tested for bacterial contamination, analyzing its relation to time of storage and type of delivery. This is a pilot study with a transversal design.Results: The comparison between types of delivery yielded a relative risk of contamination in vaginal delivery (RR) of 2.67 (95% CI: 1.09-6.52) and no significance (P = 0.08). No contamination was found on day 1 flasks.Conclusion: All membranes derived from vaginal deliveries ended up showing bacterial contamination during the storage period, which lead to a theoretical unavailability for its use on Amniotic Membrane Banks.
