Our manufacturing facility is certified as an American Association Tissue Bank (AATB) and regularly audited by external regulatory bodies.

As a certified tissue bank, our facility is entrusted to maximize the gift of donation to improve the lives of as many people as possible.

Each donation is rigorously tracked and tested to ensure it is safe to process and use.

The specific bones (tibia, fibula, etc.) recovered from the donor are documented from recovery through the manufacturing of the implantable medical device.

Our employees are outfitted with personnel protective equipment (scrubs, goggles, sterile full body suit, and gloves) to protect the employee from the tissue and the tissue from employee.

The aseptic operation occurs in a controlled cleanroom environment (certified ISO 5). We have a rigorous training program and will teach you all you need to know.
