Focus on Safety:
Why LifeNet Health Does Not Provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires chemical manufacturers and importers to develop a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous chemical produced or imported. The MSDS must be provided prior to, or at the time of the initial shipment to a downstream distributor or user. Distributors must also ensure that downstream employers are similarly provided an MSDS. So you may wonder why LifeNet Health does not provide an MSDS. Read more…

New Rehydration Times For Non-Weight-Bearing Allograft Bio-Implants
Effective July 1, 2010, LifeNet Health updated its Instructions For Use (IFU) document for all sterile freeze-dried allograft bio-implants. Previously, the Instructions For Use document recommended that non-weight-bearing tissues be rehydrated for a minimum of 30 minutes. The updated IFU changes the Preparation For Use section to recommend that non-weight-bearing tissues be “rehydrated until required consistency and handling are achieved as per surgeon preference”. There are no changes in rehydration instructions for weight-bearing or soft tissues. This change is being made based on laboratory testing of fluid uptake rates for freeze-dried cortical and cancellous allografts, and a review of the typical applications and uses of non-weight-bearing allografts.
