FiberCel is a fiber-based bone repair product made from human tissue and engineered to maintain characteristics of natural tissue. It is used in orthopedic or reconstructive bone grafting procedures in combination with autologous bone or other forms of allograft bone or alone as a bone graft.

Additionally, FiberCel provides handling properties that are critical for use as a bone void filler in various orthopedic and spinal procedures. FiberCel contains cancellous bone particles with preserved living cells and demineralized cortical bone fibers to facilitate bone repair and healing.

The typical method of contracting tuberculosis is to breathe in the bacteria called "Mycobacterium tuberculosis." However, in the case of patients with bone-graft and other orthopedic/reconstruction surgeries, their bodies may be more susceptible to infections of all kinds and the tuberculosis bacteria, if included in the lot of FiberCell bone grafts, could find a suitable host in which to proliferate.

If you believe you received FiberCel as part of your (or a loved one's) medical treatment, such as a bone graft for orthopedic or reconstructive purposes, and have developed an infection or tuberculosis, call 302.655.2599 or fill out this form immediately.
