Help for Surgical Patients Affected by Tainted Tissue

The recent discovery that a New Jersey tissue recovery firm known as Biomedical Tissue Service has been illegally harvesting human tissues and selling them to processors without testing them for deadly contaminates has sent shockwaves throughout the country. A growing number of patients are receiving notice that they may have received potentially tainted tissues in medical procedures like organ transplants, skin grafts, and dental implants and could have been exposed to devastating diseases like HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis, and syphilis.

Who is Responsible?

There is a wide net of responsibility cast for this horrific crime, starting with the criminals at Biomedical Tissue Service who illegally harvested tissues from victims without permission from their loved ones and who intentionally mislead suppliers about the integrity of the samples. However, companies that purchased the questionable tissues without ensuring their quality and safety also must bear some of the responsibility for the gruesome scandal. Tissue processing companies like Medtronic, Inc., LifeCell Corp., Tutogen Medical, Inc., Regeneration Technologies, Inc., Lost Mountain Tissue Bank, and the Blood and Tissue Center of Central Texas and hospitals and other facilities that utilized the illicit tissue in medical procedures should have been more diligent about safeguarding the health of patients and protecting consumer safety.
