  • Meniscal Tissue Needed

    Project Title: Variability of the Circumferential Tensile Modulus within
    Human Menisci

    Principal Investigator: Dr. Maury L. Hull

    Address: Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group
    University of California, Davis
    Davis, CA 95616

    Telephone: 530-752-2713
    Fax: 530-752-4158

    Tissue Requested: Tibial plateau with medial and lateral menisci

    Total Number Requested: 20 tibial plateaus

    Date Needed: Immediate need for 20 specimens

    Donor Criteria:
    Age: Less than 70 years of age
    Condition: No meniscal tears, osteoarthritis, or knee
    surgery
    No dehydration of meniscal tissue or
    freezer burn
    Other: 2cm of tibial plateau required
    Serology: Must be HIV, Hep B, and Hep C negative

    Please contact Kate Lechner or Arthur Huang if you have any further
    questions.

    We will pay up to $200 for each tibial plateau.

    Please ship specimens fresh frozen on dry ice.

    Note: We are in immediate need of tissue due to the difficulties we have
    encountered in procuring specimens from other sources. We were to receive
    10 knee pairs for our research, but the institution which was to provide
    them did not follow through. We need these specimens to complete data
    collection for our theses. Thank you.
