RTI is committed to providing the safest and highest quality allografts for use in spine, sports medicine and
other orthopedic surgeries. RTI holds the patents* on BioCleanse®, the only proven tissue sterilization
process validated to eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores from tissue without impacting the structural
or biomechanical integrity of the allograft. In addition to our sterilization capability, all donor tissue must
meet strict criteria to be released for implantation. In addition to serological and medical record screening,
high risk behavior is also evaluated. RTI performs multiple reviews, including:
- Behavioral/Lifestyle Risk Assessment
- Family/Next-of-Kin Interview
- Medical Record Evaluation/Hospital Records
- Medical Examiner/Coroner's Report
- Medical/Social History Evaluation
*BioCleanse is covered by U.S. Patents 6,482,584; 6,613,278 and 6,652,818 and pending U.S. and foreign applications in the name of RTI Biologics, Inc.
