ABSTRACT:
An osteochondral centrifugation system for providing an osteochondral centrifuged core from a graft such as femoral condyle, for example. The centrifugation system may be used either in the operating room or, alternatively, at a tissue banking facility at the time of processing. The osteochondral centrifuged core is formed by (i) removing an osteochondral core from a graft; (ii) placing the osteochondral core in a centrifugation system to remove blood, lipids, or other potentially antigenic or contaminating materials, and to obtain a centrifuged core; and (iii) optionally, subjecting the centrifuged core to a material that reduces the chance of disease transmission and aids in the healing of the recipient site to which the centrifuged core is to be transferred.
