AlloSource has developed a periosteum harvesting and processing system for creating periosteum fibers from human long bones. The method involves washing the tissue with hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and PBS, followed by cryofracturing to achieve desired fiber size. The resulting periosteum fibers strengthen surgical allograft products. GlobalData’s report on AlloSource gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy.

A patent application (Publication Number: US20230405184A1) discloses a method for preparing a composition of periosteum fibers to strengthen a surgical allograft. The process involves extracting periosteum tissue from a human long bone, washing it in hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and phosphate buffered saline solutions, compressing the tissue, cryofracturing it into fused fibers, and separating them into individual fibers. The method includes specific details such as the volume and concentration of solutions used in each wash cycle, the use of a separator to separate the fused fibers, and the tools required for harvesting and processing the periosteum tissue.

Furthermore, the patent application describes the use of various harvesting tools such as a scalpel, cheese wire, radius card scrapers, and small radius gouges in the process. The method involves precise steps to ensure the quality and integrity of the periosteum fibers, including multiple wash cycles, compression, cryofracturing, and separation techniques. The detailed description provided in the patent application aims to standardize the preparation of periosteum fibers for strengthening surgical allografts, potentially improving the outcomes of such procedures. The use of specific tools and techniques outlined in the claims highlights the importance of consistency and precision in the preparation of these fibers for medical applications.
