Veterinary
Transplant Services, Inc. is the world’s leading provider
of bone, soft tissue and cornea allografts for transplantation into animals.
With a particular focus on contributing to the advancement of medicine
and improving the quality of pets’ lives, the Company strives to
respond to the needs within the veterinary community.
With a core competency in human cell and tissue banking and adhering
to the highest ethical standards, we have focused our efforts on creating
an animal tissue bank to fulfill unmet clinical needs of animal patients,
veterinarians, veterinary hospitals and research and teaching universities
worldwide. We are also a custom processing facility for innovative companies
in need of animal cell or tissue grafts for pre-clinical trials. In addition
to musculoskeletal and ocular tissues, our staff has experience in processing
and preserving a wide variety of cells and tissues, these include: skin
grafts, heart valves, bone marrow, cartilage, cord blood, amnion, and
pancreatic islets.
Since its formation in 1996, VTS has become well-known for supplying
aseptically processed allograft tissues, providing over 20,000 grafts
for its clients. Our musculoskeletal grafts are commonly used in fracture
repairs, spinal fusions, void filling caused by trauma or degenerative
processes, and limb spare procedures to replace cancerous tissue. Use
of allograft tissues processed by VTS can reduce patient morbidity, operative
time, and costs. We strive to keep our costs reasonable in order to make
allografts accessible for all patients who need transplant grafts.
The Company routinely carries species-specific transplant quality bone
grafts (frozen or freeze-dried Osteo-Allograft) and corneal grafts for
use in dog and cat patients. We also make custom designed grafts for specific
surgical needs upon request. Processed cells or tissue for other animal
species (such as, goat, pig, sheep, monkey, rat, rabbit, etc.) is also
done on a custom request basis.
