| Organ
donation is simple in words. But absolutely difficult (yet
very simple for determined individuals) Donated
tissues enhance the quality of life for the people who receive
them.
The
hospital, medical examiner, or crematorum or funeral location
notifies the local tissue bank.
Doctors
must take out the tissue within 24 hours after death. But
tissue banks can store the tissue for a long time.
What
can tissue banks store?
Bone, Cartilage, Corneas, Heart valves, Ligaments, Skin,
Tendons, The middle ear, Veins
