The Regional Tissue Bank (RTB), in Halifax Nova Scotia, is a non-profit service dedicated to providing Canadian health care teams with safe high quality allograft tissue and tissue products in support of optimal patient outcomes. It is accredited with the American Association of Tissue Bank (AATB) for all aspects of screening, procurement, processing, storage and distribution for cardiovascular, bone and skin tissues.
The RTB is also in compliance with the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) and the draft Canadian Standards for Tissue Donation and Transplantation.
It also supports autologous tissue transplantation, the bone marrow transplantation program and provides perfusion and preservation service to the Multi-Organ Transplant Program kidney and liver procurement teams. The mission of the Regional Tissue Bank is to ensure all Nova Scotians are offered the option of tissue donation and to provide safe high quality tissue products to Nova Scotian surgical programs and patients.
It has expanded its activities with New Brunswick, in collaboration with Health Care Regions, to support tissue donation and transplantation in New Brunswick. The RTB also provides tissue to centers throughout Canada when requested; under the condition that meeting these requests would not disadvantage Atlantic Canadians.
