Inventories and Other Deferred Costs |
Inventories and other deferred costs consist of the following:
We had inventory on consignment of $1.3 million and $1.1 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In connection with our recent acquisition of the RestoreFlow allograft business, other deferred costs include costs incurred for the preservation of human vascular tissue available for shipment, tissue currently in active processing, and tissue held in quarantine pending release to implantable status. By federal law, human tissue cannot be bought or sold. Therefore, the tissue we preserve are not held as inventory, and the costs we incur to procure and process vascular tissue are instead accumulated and deferred. |
