    ADVANCES IN TISSUE BANKING

    by G O Phillips (The North Wales & Oswestry Tissue Bank, UK), J N Kearney (Yorkshire Regional Tissue Bank, UK), D M Strong (Puget Sound Blood Center, USA), R von Versen (German Institute for Cell & Tissue Replacement, Germany), & A Nather (National University Hospital Bone Bank, Singapore)

    This important book provides new information about the inter-disciplinary field of tissue banking and related clinical applications, and complements the previous two volumes. It gives comprehensive coverage of the regulatory framework of the subject, as well as production and sterilisation of tissue allografts (bone, skin and new substitutes). The use of tissue allografts in orthopaedic and replacement surgery for the treatment of burns, etc. is described.
