Who We are

We lead global healthcare technology and boldly attack the most challenging health problems facing humanity by searching out and finding solutions.

We are engineers at heart— putting ambitious ideas to work to generate real solutions for real people. From the R&D lab, to the factory floor, to the conference room, every one of us experiments, creates, builds, improves and solves. We have the talent, diverse perspectives, and guts to engineer the extraordinary.

What We Do

At Medtronic Eatontown, we believe organ donation is a selfless gift, and we are honored to be part of the process to transform human tissue donations from families experiencing loss into medical products that alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life for patients around the world. We make allografts, which are commonly used in spinal fusion surgery. The allograft works as a scaffold that allows the natural bone to grow through its surface.

Our manufacturing facility is certified as an American Association Tissue Bank (AATB) and regularly audited by external regulatory bodies. As a certified tissue bank, our facility is entrusted to maximize the gift of donation to improve the lives of as many people as possible. Each donation is rigorously tracked and tested to ensure it is safe to process and use. The specific bones (tibia, fibula, etc.) recovered from the donor are documented from recovery through the manufacturing of the implantable medical device.

We are committed, we are purposeful, and we are driven by our Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life for millions of people worldwide.
