This volume contains the proceedings of the Cellucon Trust/International Atomic Energy Agency meeting on the use of ionising radiation for tissue sterilisation held at the North East Wales Institute, September 2003. Existing methods and processing for sterilising tissues are proving, in many instances inadequate. Infections have been transmitted from the graft to the recipient, and attention has now been drawn to the need for a reliable end sterilisation method which does not damage the functionality of the final tissue. This volume identifies the best method of using radiation technology to assist in the production of safe tissue allografts. Tissue bankers, users of tissues for transplantation and regulators who oversee safety will all find this book an invaluable source of reference.
