The human body has many tissues that are viable and valuable to persons afflicted with such illnesses as bone cancer, heart disease, burns and ailments that affect the eye.

Tissue is obtained from deceased or surgical donors who are tested for diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis. All tissue is procured and processed in a sterile environment. Donated tissue can then be processed into many forms that are either freeze-dried or frozen. The tissue can then be used in orthopedic, neurologic, plastic, cardiovascular, and oral reconstructive surgery.
