The LifeNet Health Advantage

When partnering with an allograft supplier, we believe the decision should be based on the overall value clinicians and patients expect and deserve. At LifeNet Health, we deliver that value by excelling in six critical areas:

Safety

Since 1995, more than 10 million allografts processed using Allowash® sterilization technology have been distributed by LifeNet Health, with no disease transmission. By using a network of qualified and trained recovery partners, one of the most stringent screening and recovery protocols, patented tissue-cleaning and sterilization processes, and a highly controlled processing environment, we counter the risk of disease transmission at every step.

Quality

LifeNet Health’s controlled processing environment is designed to ensure tissue quality and safety. Through the consistent application of quality systems, quality control, and design control processes, LifeNet Health tissue grafts are designed and manufactured to ensure the highest possible quality. Year after year, this dedication to quality is validated internally and vetted by your peers as well as government and industry regulators. LifeNet Health holds the longest running current accreditation by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). Our certifications and memberships include AATB, CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments), FDA registration, ISO 13485 (Standard for medical devices), and UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing).

Innovation

In keeping with the mission of saving lives, restoring health, and giving hope, LifeNet Health’s focus on research and development has resulted in many U.S. issued patents. As part of its commitment to advancing tissue grafts and regenerative medicine, LifeNet Health has developed key innovations such as proprietary and patented cleaning, demineralization, and composite allograft technologies. A leader in its field, LifeNet Health continually works on innovations to advance tissue graft safety and efficacy.

Service

Customer service is available from 7am to 7pm EST, and on-call support is provided 24 hours a day for emergencies. LifeNet Health offers a flexible return policy, free shipping, and on-site Bio-Implant Specialists to consult with implanting surgeons and facilities.

Clinical Effectiveness

Our extensive portfolio of implants consistently performs at the highest level because LifeNet Health has invested considerable resources performing multiple clinical studies to ensure your patients' outcomes are positive.

Supply Chain Reliability

LifeNet Health offers you a partner with bi-coastal production facilities - ensuring a dedicated supply of much-needed allograft products to your facility. We are working towards being able to produce and process our entire extensive portfolio at each facility, which supports nearly every surgical discipline.
