Although less well known to the public than organ transplants, treatments using human donor tissue help more than 1 million people in Europe every year. Doctors use donated tissue from the human musculoskeletal system to replace bones, tendons and ligaments that have been damaged by tumors, accidents, joint diseases or for other reasons. Argon cooperates with the non-profit German Institute for Cell and Tissue Replacement (DIZG) in Berlin, founded by doctors and scientists from the universities of Berlin and Erlangen, to make these transplants available to users in the oral and maxillofacial region in Germany on the basis of legal and ethical principles and in compliance with the strictest quality and safety requirements.
