Testimonials
The Perth Bone and Tissue Bank is one of the premier facilities supplying human tissue in the World. It supplies the highest quality bone and soft tissue material to Western Australia, Australia and neighbouring countries to allow the reconstruction of tissue defects that would otherwise be very difficult to manage. Personally I rely on their graft for many of my joint reconstructions where large bony defects need addressing. Furthermore the bone graft is prepared in a very user friendly way making this difficult surgery more efficient and timely.
