CostalCartilage


Costal cartilage allografts are derived from tissue donor rib cartilage.  Access to this allograft removes the need for autologous derived costal cartilage, eliminating multiple operative fields for surgeons, as well as prolonged anesthesia time, additional scars and complications from donor sites for patients.1
