Tissues we offer
Donor Services of Indiana (DSI) is committed to meeting the region's need for safe, high-quality
musculoskeletal and cardiovascular tissues for transplantation.
At DSI, tissues are placed in a regional resource inventory. Tissues are provided on a first-call,
first-served basis
. We also place tissue on consignment so hospitals don't have to maintain a
costly inventory.
Product services coordinators are responsible for maintaining and communicating inventory availability
and projected dates of distribution. Following guidelines of the American Association of Tissue Banks,
DSI participates in resource sharing with other banks across the U.S. and has distributed tissue to
almost every state in the union and many foreign countries. Our goal is to meet all surgery dates with
grafts or to locate tissues for clients from AATB banks.
The product services coordinators distribute tissues and address any questions or concerns regarding
the distribution process. DSI is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergency requests.

  • specific tissue type and size

Ordering Osteoarticular Grafts
Osteoarticular grafts and others requiring sizing need
additional information:
  • operative side (left/right)
  • desired allograft dimensions
  • patient's height, weight, age and gender
Patient X-rays are also helpful. If time allows, an X-ray of the
best-matched graft can be sent for the surgeon's review prior to
tissue delivery. A dissection description of the graft detailing
dimensions also can be faxed in advance for review.
Ordering Cardiovascular Tissue
When ordering cardiovascular tissue, it is necessary to provide the
desired valve or conduit diameter and length. A dissection description
of each cardiovascular tissue can be faxed to ensure the graft meets
the surgeon's specifications.
Donor Services of Indiana (DSI) can place tissue on
consignment so hospitals don't have
to maintain a costly inventory.
