Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This disclosure details a surgical system and method for changing one or more dimensions of harvested tissue, such an autograft, which is harvested from one location in a patient's body and used for a surgical repair or reconstruction procedure in another location in the patient's body. An example surgical system includes a first press component defining a cavity configured to receive harvested tissue, and a second press component including a projection insertable into the cavity. Further, at least one of the first and second press components are made of a transparent or semi-transparent material such that when harvested tissue is in the cavity and when the projection is inserted into the cavity, the harvested tissue is visible through at least one of the first and second press components.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system configured to change a dimension of harvested tissue, comprising: a first press component defining a cavity configured to receive harvested tissue; a second press component including a projection insertable into the cavity, wherein at least one of the first and second press components is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material such that when harvested tissue is in the cavity and when the projection is inserted into the cavity, the harvested tissue is visible through at least one of the first and second press components; wherein the first press component is a bottom press component, wherein the cavity is bound in part by a main upward-facing forming surface, wherein the first press component includes a plurality of forming holes recessed downward from the main upward-facing forming surface, wherein the second press component is a top press component, wherein the projection includes a main downward-facing forming surface, and wherein the second press component includes a plurality of forming holes recessed upward from the main downward-facing forming surface. 2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of forming holes of the first press component are adjacent an outer perimeter of the main upward-facing forming surface. 3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of forming holes of the first press component extend through an entirety of a height dimension of the first press component. 4. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of forming holes of the second press component are adjacent an outer perimeter of the main downward-facing forming surface. 5. The system as recited in claim 4 , wherein the plurality of forming holes of the second press component extend through an entirety of a height dimension of the second press component.
