Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank

What Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank does

Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank (RMTB) is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in 1980 by Dr. William H. Hiatt, dedicated to developing, processing, and distributing irradiated allogenic bone and marrow allografts for periodontal regeneration and dental implant procedures. The organization operates an independent tissue processing facility in Aurora, Colorado — explicitly unaffiliated with any other tissue bank — and serves a single-customer vertical: periodontists and oral surgeons. Its operations are governed by a Board of Directors under a humanitarian mission articulated at founding.

RMTB produces three core product lines: irradiated allogenic cortical/cancellous bone blocks, cortical particulate vials (2–3 mm particles), and cancellous particulate vials (2–3 mm particles). The differentiating technical platform is a Cobalt-60 irradiation protocol delivering 2.5–3.8 Megarads, exceeding both the validated Sterility Assurance Level of 1.9 Megarads and the current AATB recommendation of 1.5 Megarads. The company sources cancellous bone and marrow from vertebral donors — characterized as the richest lifelong source of bone marrow — and claims no reported case of infectious disease transmission from allografts processed via its procedure. Supporting infrastructure includes FDA Registration #3000215348, AATB Accreditation since 1996, ISO 9001:2015 certification, Health Canada certification, a Korean license, and state tissue bank licenses across seven US states.

The business model is transaction-based, one-time sale of medical device allografts distributed domestically via direct fax/phone ordering (1-303-337-9383) and internationally through eight country-specific distributors (Trycare in England, Purgo in Korea, Lakshmi Associates in India, GALANG in UAE, Fabnos in Pakistan/Afghanistan, Normedico in Sweden, Implant Link in Malaysia, and Mashafi Al Saudia in Saudi Arabia). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via downloadable order forms for qualified medical professionals. With a stated 1–10 employee headcount, a customer base of >1,000 dental professionals, and three product categories, RMTB operates as a small, vertically specialized, highly regulated tissue processor whose competitive position rests on regulatory accreditation density, a long safety track record, and entrenched clinical relationships rather than scale, technology differentiation, or AI capability.

Core offering

Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank is a non-profit tissue processing facility that develops, produces, and stores human tissue allografts in the form of irradiated allogenic cancellous bone and marrow for medical transplant procedures. The company manufactures three core product lines: Cortical/Cancellous Bone Blocks, Cortical Particulate Vials, and Cancellous Particulate Vials, all sterilized using Cobalt-60 irradiation at 2.5-3.8 Megarads. Products are sold primarily to periodontists and oral surgeons for guided bone regeneration, dental implant foundation support, and related periodontal surgical procedures.

Product overview

Rocky Mountain Tissue Bank is a non-profit tissue processing facility that produces three core allograft product lines: Irradiated Allogenic Cortical/Cancellous Bone Blocks, Cortical Particulate Vials, and Cancellous Particulate Vials. These products are derived from donated human tissue and processed using irradiation sterilization (Cobalt 60, 2.5-3.8 Megarads) for use in periodontal bone regeneration and dental implant procedures. The three product types range from block-form grafts for structural support to particulate forms for filling bony defects, serving primarily periodontists and oral surgeons.

Direct peers

• AlloSource: AlloSource is one of the largest U.S. non-profit tissue banks, processing bone, skin, and cellular allografts for orthopedic, spine, sports medicine, and dental applications. Directly comparable to RMTB as a non-profit allograft processor serving dental/periodontal bone regeneration with FDA and AATB credentials.
• MTF Biologics: MTF Biologics (Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation) is a leading non-profit tissue bank offering a broad portfolio of bone grafts, soft tissue, and dental regenerative products. Directly comparable to RMTB as a non-profit tissue processor with dental allograft lines, AATB accreditation, and multi-channel distribution.
• LifeNet Health: LifeNet Health is a major non-profit organ and tissue procurement organization and processor of bone, dental, and cardiovascular allografts. Directly comparable to RMTB in tissue processing and distribution of dental bone grafts with strong regulatory credentials.
• Community Tissue Services: Community Tissue Services (now part of CTI Bio) is a non-profit tissue bank that processes bone, skin, and dental allografts. Directly comparable to RMTB in providing irradiated bone particulate and blocks to dental specialists.
• Geistlich Pharma: Geistlich Pharma manufactures Bio-Oss (bovine bone graft) and Bio-Gide (collagen membrane), the dominant products in dental guided bone regeneration. Directly competes with RMTB's cancellous particulate in the same periodontist/oral surgeon channel, though with a xenograft rather than allograft.

Broad incumbents

• ZimVie (Zimmer Biomet Dental): ZimVie (spun off from Zimmer Biomet) offers regenerative dental products including RegenerOss allograft and synthetic bone graft substitutes. Comparable to RMTB as a dental bone graft supplier, but as part of a broad incumbent portfolio that includes implants and spine.
• Medtronic (Bone Graft / Infuse): Medtronic offers INFUSE Bone Graft (rhBMP-2) and Mastergraft for spine and orthopedic applications. Comparable to RMTB as a bone graft substitute provider, though Medtronic operates in a much broader orthopedic/spine portfolio and does not focus on the dental channel.
• Dentsply Sirona: Dentsply Sirona is a global dental equipment, implant, and consumables manufacturer. Adjacent to RMTB through its dental implant and regenerative consumables portfolio, serving many of the same periodontists and oral surgeons, though as a broad incumbent across the full dental value chain.
• Steri-Oss / Nobel Biocare: Nobel Biocare (Envista) is a global dental implant manufacturer with regenerative product lines (creos xenografts and membranes). Comparable to RMTB as a supplier to periodontists performing bone regeneration around implants, though bundled into a much broader implant system portfolio.

Emerging players

• Salvin Dental Specialties: Salvin Dental Specialties supplies regenerative dental products including allografts, membranes, and bone particulate to periodontists and oral surgeons. Comparable to RMTB in target customer and product category, though broader in product mix and also distributing synthetic and xenograft alternatives.
