The Tissue Donation Process

Donor

An individual passes away, and they or their family choose to give the gift of life through tissue donation.

Tissue Recovery

Tissue is recovered by organ procurement organizations and tissue banks throughout the United States and sent to Evergen for processing.

Evergen Donor Services

Evergen Donor Services works with organ procurement organizations and tissue banks to promote responsible stewardship of the gift of tissue donation.

Evergen

Evergen processes donated tissue received, including bone, tendons and skin, into surgical implants for patients. These implants are used by surgeons in sports medicine, general surgery, orthopedic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, trauma and other procedures.

The Donor Memorial Pond, located at Evergen’s facility in Alachua, Florida, serves as a tribute to the many donors and their families that make the gift of life through tissue donation possible.
