Preservation of Tissues for use in Orthopedic Procedures

Tissue preservation is one of the main areas of medicine to which Core Dynamics has applied its patented cryopreservation technologies and protocols. In the field of orthopedic medicine damage to bone tissue, cartilage, ligaments and tendons make up an extremely large part of the patient complaints that physicians must try to alleviate.

Donor tissue for replacement of a patient's own damaged tissue is considered one of the best alternatives for treatment. Core Dynamics provides specialized solutions, protocols and equipment for the cryopreservation of a range of tissues for use in orthopedic procedures. The advantages of the Core Dynamics preservation technologies are:

• Cell cryopreservation with high cell viability following thawing
• Ability to store and bank tissue for long periods
• Adequate time for tissue matching and testing for pathogens
• Preservation of tissue at near to fresh condition

Cryopreserved Osteochondral Dowels

The first clinical application of the company's tissue preservation methods is the cryopreservation of allograft plugs of cartilage and bone tissue for the repair of local damage to the cartilage in the knee. This sort of damage is common in sports injuries and trauma to the knee from accidents.
