The Economic Impact of Allograft Sterilization
As a leader in bio-implant technology and regenerative medicine, LifeNet Health achieves the highest sterility assurance rating possible without compromising function or durability. LifeNet Health focuses on the safest product possible, while minimizing the economic impact of infections.
Differences and discrepancies exist between sterility requirements for medical devices and biotechnology supply organizations. The same sterility standards are not applied to organizations supplying bone and tissue allografts. In fact, one tissue supplier’s “sterile” label may not carry the same assurance as another’s claim. The implications of this variation are significant in terms of infection potential to allograft recipients and associated costs. Read more…

Peroneus Longus and Posterior Tibialis Bio-Implants in Knee Reconstruction
Human tendon allografts have been used in clinical sports medicine applications for more than two decades. In particular, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common soft tissue reconstructive procedures in orthopedic practice. Human allograft tissue offers several distinct advantages over autografts including shorter operative times, reduced surgical morbidity, decreased postoperative pain and improved cosmesis. Also, recent advances in terminal sterilization technologies virtually eliminate the risk of disease transmission while maintaining clinically relevant properties. Read more…
