AlloSource Receives Patent For AlloStem Cellular Bone Allograft

CENTENNIAL, Colo., Dec. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AlloSource®, one of the nation's largest providers of cartilage, cellular, bone, skin and soft-tissue allografts for use in surgical procedures and wound care to advance patient healing, has been awarded a patent for its flagship regenerative medicine product, AlloStem® Cellular Bone Allograft.

U.S. Patent Number 9,192,695, titled Allografts combined with tissue derived stem cells for bone healing, highlights AlloStem's partially demineralized allograft bone combined with adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. Suitable for general bone grafting applications, AlloStem is similar to autograft bone because it provides the three key properties necessary for bone formation: scaffold, signal and cells.

"Receiving this patent is a big milestone not just for our research and development team, but also for our whole company," said Thomas Cycyota, AlloSource president and CEO. "Our motivation to develop innovative products is driven by our mission to maximize the gift of donation and advance healing for tissue recipients."

The AlloStem patent is one of several in the growing portfolio of AlloSource living cell and tissue patents.
