Allograft Tendons

Arthrex offers a variety of tendon allografts, including a wide portfolio of presutured tendons, for primary and revision ligament repairs and reconstruction procedures. Allograft tendons provide many benefits over autograft tendons in reconstructive procedures, including less donor-site morbidity,1,2 fewer incisions, shorter operative time,1,2 larger and predictable graft sizes,2 and decreased postoperative pain and stiffness.2 Arthrex offers our customers an option of sterile tendons or aseptically processed tendons. Sterile tendons from our tissue bank alliance partners are processed using methods that render the tissue sterile without causing biomechanical or biochemical changes to the tissue. Presutured constructs are an off-the-shelf solution with minimal preparation time that provide surgeons with a high-quality, consistent, sterile, and strong allograft tendon.
