What is an allograft?
Puros grafts are classified as allograft material. An allograft consists of tissue intended for transplantation into another individual of the same species. According to the American Association of Tissue Banks, over the past five years approximately 7.5 million bone and tissue allografts have been distributed to surgeons for transplantation into patients.
How are allografts obtained?
Every potential bone donor is screened and tested before being considered for donations. This screening consists of a review of medical and social histories by a medical doctor to ensure donor eligibility. Individuals with any history of disease such as AIDS or hepatitis are immediately rejected. Potential donors with histories of any condition that can affect the quality and performance of the allograft are also excluded.
