There are four categories of implants that RTI prepares for implantation:

• Sports Medicine
• Bone Graft Substitutes
• General Orthopedic & Trauma Implants
• Spinal Implants

Allografts

The source of all allografts is tissue that has been donated by people upon their death, with the consent of their family or loved ones. RTI processes donated tissue for implantation by surgeons into patients who are in need of tissue regeneration and healing. RTI honors the gift of tissue donation by:

• finding new ways to utilize the tissue to help patients,
• increasing the use of the tissue that has been donated, and
• helping as many patients as possible from each donation.

Xenografts

RTI's Sterling® Biological Matrix provides surgeons an expanded supply of safe, sterile tissue. Bovine bone sterilized through the BioCleanse® process can be used in any application where a natural biologic scaffold is needed and provides an option for procedures previously limited by tissue availability and material constraints.

Sterling Biological Matrix is a safe and natural alternative to autograft, allograft and synthetic resorbable materials. Studies show Sterling grafts are equivalent to allograft biomechanically and remodel with patients' own bone comparably to allograft.
