A raw amniotic membrane placed in a processing tank (10) is continuously heated by a far-IR heater (14) provided in the processing tank (10). During a decompression operation in which the interior of the processing tank (10) is placed in a decompressed state, and a recompression operation in which the pressure in the decompressed interior of the processing tank (10) is raised slightly toward atmospheric pressure, the raw amniotic membrane is dried while the water molecules present therein are subjected to energy via microwave irradiation from a microwave irradiation device (30) provided in the processing tank (10). By repeating this multiple times, the amniotic membrane is dried while cells and tissue structures are maintained. The amniotic membrane can be used on a wound site as a coating material or scaffold material after removing a necrosis layer and the like from a severe burn wound patient to retain cytokines and physiologically active substances secreted from infiltrating cells and promote favorable granulation including neoangiogenesis and growth of fibroblasts. This enhances the probability of survival of the patient and therapeutic effect (without the risk of keloid formation).

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a wound contact member (contact layer) that promotes direct wound healing when executing persistent negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). As a solution to the problem, dry amnion is produced by a specific drying treatment, that is, raw amnion mounted in a treatment tank (10) is continuously heated by an infrared heater (14) provided inside the treatment tank (10), and during a depressurization operation in which a depressurized state occurs inside the treatment tank and a pressure restoration operation in which the pressure inside the treatment tank (10) in the depressurized state is slightly increased towards atmospheric pressure, this raw amnion is irradiated with microwaves from a microwave generating device (30) provided inside the treatment tank (10), and the raw amnion is dried while applying energy to water molecules present in the amnion. This process is repeated a plurality of times, and thereby the healing effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can be increased when the amnion that is dried while holding a cell/tissue structure is used as a contact layer during execution of NPWT for the treatment of an open abdominal wound and/or wound dehiscence.
