Abstract
Effective off-the-shelf natural tissue devices represent the ideal solution to the problem of tissue rupture. This chapter will focus on xenograft tissues as they represent the possibility of a natural tissue graft which can be sourced from a young healthy source and remodel into the recipient’s own tissue, and they can be augmented with biologic factors to accelerate healing. The basic science and clinical trials of the first successful xenograft ligament device will be discussed.
