Advanced Cleansing Technologies Cleanse While Preserving Tissue Integrity
Tissue integrity is maintained with consistent processing, monitored temperature and limited reagent exposure.
Our processors use a proprietary bioburden reduction step that removes blood and lipids.
Terminal Sterilization Without Compromising Tissue Performance
Recent studies show low dose, low-temperature irradiation does not impact the integrity of tissue and post-transplant failure rates.1,2
JRF Ortho Tendons have a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10–6, obtained by using low dose, low temperature irradiation.
Our processors are pioneers in low dose irradiation sterilization for allograft tissue.3
Maximizing Safety While Providing Quality Tendons
Working in a controlled environment with patented processes and low dose, low-temperature sterilization, our processors’ skilled technicians deliver safe, high quality tendons.
Utilizing highly sensitive NAT testing has resulted in no confirmed incidence of disease transmission.
