Abstract

The authors reflect on the advance tissue tracking mechanisms for the tissue transplantation. They mention that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has presented a data that shows the U.S. tissue banks provide approximately 1.5 million tissue grafts on the annual basis across the world. They also discuss various changes such as standardized electronic tracking system that could be implemented by tissue banking industry for reducing the risk associated with the transplantation.
