If we need to release tissue to a patient usually bone from knee, it is placed in 95% alc and then the container
cap is coated with paraffin.  The patient signs a consent form starting the tissue has been released to them.
We have had a extremity asked but it was released to a funeral home.  Your institution should have a 
policy that should include what or if they can be released some States I think have laws that you must follow.

Hope this might help.
