Fresh Osteochondral Allograft
Over one million LifeLink allografts have been implanted since the tissue bank’s inception. This amount is a direct result of our unwavering commitment to exceeding all FDA and industry standards.
- Our Fresh Osteochondral Allograft Program provides a variety of choices for repair of articular cartilage and subchondral bone defects.
- Osteochondral allografts eliminate the discomfort and morbidity associated with autogenous grafting. These allografts restore mobility to patients who suffer from pain and limited movement preventing them from enjoying daily activities.
- By transplanting mature hyaline cartilage with viable chondrocytes, patients may return to a more active lifestyle and prevent or delay more complicated and invasive joint replacement surgeries.
- Fresh grafts have a short expiration time which requires detailed, coordinated planning in order to offer custom options for each qualifying patient.
- Microbiological testing is performed by our in-house CAP Accredited and CLIA Certified Laboratory.
- These Bio-Implants are only cleared for release after serology results are finalized.
