A complete line of allografts

Cancellous allograftsCitagenix has partnered with several US and Canadian based AATB accredited tissue banks to ensure that your graft is available when needed.  Not only do we provide freeze-dried cancellous bone as a natural scaffold for bone repair, we also supply sports allografts, traditional allografts and bone segments designed for use in the spine.  All of the tissue banks that we partner with are also registered with Health Canada as required under the Safety of Human Cells, Tissues and Organs Regulations (CTO Regulations).

Processing and Storage
Musculoskeletal tissue is processed aseptically and is secondarily sterilized by gamma irradiation. Skin is processed aseptically and is available meshed or nonmeshed.
Most musculoskeletal allografts are available frozen (≤ -40°C storage) or freeze dried (room temperature storage).

Irradiated allografts
Allografts are irradiated inside a final package using gamma irradiation from a Cobalt 60 source at a dose of 15-25kGy (1.5-2.5 megarads) for another measure of allograft safety.

Allowash® Processing
CTS processes bone and soft tissue grafts using Allowash® Technology, a patented bone cleaning technology developed by LifeNet. Allowash® is specifically designed to facilitate the removal of cellular elements from musculoskeletal tissue while maintaining structural integrity. The Allowash® process utilizes both mechanical and chemical methodologies to reduce the potential danger of disease transmission. This technology, along with a rigorous donor screening process, has been designed and validated to increase the safety of CTS tissue.
