Synopsis

This volume contains the proceedings of the Cellucon Trust/International Atomic Energy Agency meeting on the use of ionising radiation for tissue sterilisation held at the North East Wales Institute, September 2003. Existing methods and processing for sterilising tissues are proving, in many instances inadequate. Infections have been transmitted from the graft to the recipient, and attention has now been drawn to the need for a reliable end sterilisation method which does not damage the functionality of the final tissue. This volume identifies the best method of using radiation technology to assist in the production of safe tissue allografts. Tissue bankers, users of tissues for transplantation and regulators who oversee safety will all find this book an invaluable source of reference.

Key Features: high-quality papers highlighting the most recent developments in this important area; includes the full code of practice for the radiation sterilisation of tissues; edited by a highly respected team of experts.

Contents: Part 1 Standards for tissue banks and for radiation sterilisation of tissues. Part 2 Methodology in the sterilisation and preservation of tissues. Part 3 Effect of radiation on bone, tissues and their components. Part 4 Viral aspects of tissue for transplantation. Part 5 Microbiological aspects of tissue for transplantation.
