Manuel Salazar appears on local FOX segment

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

We are very proud to this year be sponsoring Manuel Salazar as a float rider in the 2010 Rose Bowl Parade aboard the Donate Life float. Manuel was rendered a quadruple amputee following a devastating construction site accident. Thanks to his incredible spirit and determination as well as allograft tissue transplants, Manuel now thrives as a quadruple amputee.

AlloSource attends NASS – VIDEO tour of booth

Monday, December 7th, 2009


Last month, a team from AlloSource traveled to the North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting in San Francisco, where we unveiled two pioneering new products: AlloStem Stem Cell Bone Growth Substitute and AlloWrap Natural Wound Cover.

Orthopedic spine surgeons at the event told us how powerful AlloStem Stem Cell Bone Growth Substitute, a new bone growth substitute made from adult stem cells, will be as a biologic solution. The second product we introduced, AlloWrap Natural Wound Cover, is a natural biological wound cover that has shown impressive results in animal studies.

This was a key industry meeting for us, as AlloSource is now the world’s largest processor of live cellular bone growth substitutes – an accomplishment we’re very proud of. At the show we mingled with some of the world’s spine care leaders; there were nearly 4,000 in attendance from all over the globe.

Check out our brief video (above) for a tour of the AlloSource booth at the event.

Introducing: AlloStem Stem Cell Bone Growth Substitute

Monday, December 7th, 2009

AlloSource is the world’s largest processor of fresh cartilage, skin allografts and live cellular bone growth substitutes, including adult stem cell grafts. Most of the public is not aware that adult stem cells can be recovered and transplanted without controversy from adult human organ and tissue donors.

AlloStem Stem Cell Bone Growth Substitute, an adult human stem cell bone graft, is recovered from adult human adipose tissue and is processed and cryopreserved by AlloSource into a stem cell bone graft used by surgeons to promote bone growth and healing. Adipose tissue is a rich source of a wide variety of stem cells, and some laboratory studies indicate it is the human body’s primary source of stem cells. Read more
