Method and apparatus for a process creating an internal tissue graft for animal and human reconstructive purposes

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for creating an internal reconstruction tissue graft. Templates may be used to create a multitude of patterns in a variety of tissue reconstruction grafts. An apparatus may be used to create an internal tissue graft for reconstruction through either compression and/or removal of segments. An apparatus may be used, through either compression and or removal of segments of a preformed template made of synthetics and or metal that mirrors a template that can be used as an internal tissue graft for reconstruction. In a method, such as using software analysis and an apparatus, the physical properties of the tissue graft and its pre- and post-operative properties and appearance may be measured.

主权项

1. A method of using one or more templates to create an anatomically designed reconstructive tissue constructive graft for implantation at an anatomical site of a human body, comprising the steps of:
(a) collecting information regarding characteristics of an anatomical site of a human body at which an internal tissue graft is needed; (b) determining desired characteristics of a reconstructive tissue graft for said anatomical site from said collected information; (c) obtaining a tissue graft from a location different than said anatomical site; and (d) utilizing a template to create a reconstructive tissue graft by compressing, cutting or removing portions of said tissue graft using said template to change a natural surface of a tissue graft to include a plurality of different surface patterns which cause said reconstructive tissue graft to have said desired characteristics for said anatomical site.
