  • Title: 'Cialit' as a tissue preservative: a microbiological assessment.
    Author: Cookson BD, Hoffman PN, Price T, Webster M, Fenton O.
    Journal: J Hosp Infect; 1988 Apr; 11(3):263-70. PubMed ID: 2899110.
    Abstract:
    We describe bacterial contamination of a 'Cialit'-preserved cartilage bank which continued after a variety of changes to the harvesting and preservation protocols during a 3-year prospective study. Our results emphasize the importance of adequate tissue bank microbiological screening. Alternative methods of tissue preservation should be considered.
