Prather Ranch has gained international recognition as a trusted supplier of high-quality bovine materials, including collagen, hides, bones, blood, and other bovine xenograft materials for medical, pharmaceutical, and biological industries. The success of our products starts with a closed herd of cattle with minimal risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), and is further enhanced by our commitment to quality and respect for our cattle, employees, and clients. The closed herd practice significantly reduces the Geographical BSE Risk (GBR), allowing Prather Ranch to offer safe and reliable bovine materials to our customers. As an ISO certified and GMP facility, Prather Ranch maintains strict standards in our production process to ensure the highest quality and safety of our products.
Tissues & Materials We Offer:
Bovine Corium: Corium is derived from the middle layer of bovine hide and is a material rich with collagen. Corium is used to make purified collagen for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and many skin care and wound care products.
Bovine Blood: Bovine blood components, such as serum or plasma, have been used in research and diagnostic applications. They contain valuable proteins, antibodies, and other biomolecules that can aid in laboratory investigations, medical testing, and the development of therapeutic products.
Bovine Pericardium: The pericardium is a fibrous membrane that surrounds the heart. Bovine pericardium has been widely used in cardiovascular surgeries as a biocompatible and durable material. It can be processed and treated to remove cellular components, making it suitable for the production of heart valve replacements, patches, and other cardiac implants.
Bovine Tendon: Bovine tendons possess excellent mechanical strength and elasticity, making them suitable for use in surgical procedures, orthopedic applications, and tissue engineering. They can be processed to remove cellular components and sterilized for use as grafts or scaffolds to support tissue regeneration and repair.
Bovine Bone: Bovine bone is a valuable source of biomaterials for various medical applications, including orthopedic surgeries and dental procedures. It can be processed to obtain demineralized bone matrix (DBM), which contains growth factors and proteins that support bone healing and regeneration. Bovine bone grafts can be used to fill bone voids, promote fusion in spinal surgeries, and assist in dental implant procedures.
Prather Ranch ensures that all bovine tissues and biomaterials offered meet stringent quality standards and regulatory requirements. The collection, processing, and handling of these materials adhere to industry best practices and relevant guidelines, including ISO: 22442 Part 2 for medical devices using animal tissues and their derivatives. This ensures the safety, traceability, and reliability of the bovine biomaterials provided.
By offering a range of bovine tissues and biomaterials, Prather Ranch aims to support medical professionals, researchers, and manufacturers in their pursuit of innovative solutions for patient care, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Their expertise and commitment to quality make them a trusted partner in the field of bovine biomaterials for medical applications.
Testimonial
The bovine ovarian tissue we receive from Prather Ranch looks much healthier than what we have received from other suppliers, which is crucial in our research studies. It is also very convenient that they offer background information about the cows that provided the tissue. Prather Ranch is very accommodating to our specific needs and provides great customer service!
