Matracell® Technology Shows Potential to Revolutionize Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
 Surgeons across the country are discovering that LifeNet Health's cardiac allograft bio-implants with patented Matracell® technology have the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life and outcomes in pediatric cardiac surgery. In 2009, four centers began using CardioGraft® Pulmonary Patch Grafts and Hemi Pulmonary Arteries with Matracell for pediatric pulmonary arterioplasty. By the close of 2010, the technology had been applied in 260 implants and results show early indications that CardioGraft with Matracell is successful in preventing restenosis, reducing graft calcification which may reduce the need for subsequent surgeries.

Take Action During National Donate Life Month
More than 110,000 patients are waiting for a life saving organ transplant; and 18 people die every day in America because a life saving organ is not available. You can take action and become a part of the solution by donating life.
National Donate Life Month began in 2003 with the support of then secretary of HHS Tommy Thompson and grew out of the Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative. NDLM features an entire month of local, regional and national activities to help encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to celebrate those who have saved lives through the gift of donation.
