About

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is seeking a supplier for a human bone grinder, including maintenance and spare parts, for its Tissue and Eye Services to produce demineralised bone matrix (DBM). The grinder must grind human bone struts into a fine powder between 250µm and 710µm, be suitable for cleanroom use and leave no metal residue on the bone, have all bone-contact parts removable and autoclavable at different temperatures (wash cycle >55°C, reverse osmosis water stage >90°C and dry air stage >100°C), and operate from mains electricity with no requirement for a separate compressor; DBM from TES treats more than 700 patients per year. NHSBT is inviting bids from suppliers who can meet these requirements.
