Description:

Human tissue is an important resource for medical treatment. For example, it is used in burn treatment, reconstructive surgery, cancer care, and heart valve replacement. Tissue from one donor can be processed into many forms and used to treat many people. The exact number of donors is not known, but it is growing. In 1999, more than 20,000 donors provided cadaveric tissue, up from perhaps 6,000 donors in 1994. It is estimated that tissue banks distributed more than 750,000 allografts for transplantation in 1999.
