Focus on Quality:
OsteoCleanse™ Creates A Paradigm-Altering Solution in the Treatment of Craniectomies

Replacement of native cranial bone for cranioplasty procedures has long been considered the gold standard, but current methods of storing the patient’s tissue are fraught with possible complications. LifeNet Health’s innovative OsteoCleanse™ Autograft Cleaning System now offers a clinically effective, safe and biocompatible alternative to freezer storage, intra-abdominal placement and synthetic materials.

Redefining the Standard of Care

OsteoCleanse is a simple solution for the treatment of cranial bone flaps. It blends the latest technology breakthroughs in the cleaning, disinfecting and irradiation of allograft tissue with the need to meet regulatory standards, as well as provides hospitals with a turnkey alternative to treating cranial bone flaps.

The process begins during surgery with the preparation and packaging of the graft in a specialized kit provided by LifeNet Health. Completing and submitting a simple Service Request Form initiates pick up and shipping of the graft to LifeNet Health.
Upon arrival at LifeNet Health, the graft is logged, cleaned and disinfected. It is then packaged, labeled and irradiated using a method proven not to damage the structural or biological properties of the graft. These steps are then reviewed by our Quality Assurance department to ensure processing standards are met. Following release from our QA department, the graft is either returned to the hospital or placed in storage at LifeNet Health until re-implantation.

Many of the country’s top institutions are currently using this service. If you are interested in learning more about OsteoCleanse, please contact Roberto Bracone at 757.609.4306 or Lindsay Reed at 757.609.4458.
