Abstract
A process and system provides for atraumatic preparation of morselized Tissue Particles (TP)s, such as Full Thickness Skin Graft Particles (FTSGPs), cartilage particles and other organ tissue particles, in a liquid medium. The resultant tissue product may be a suspension of Tissue Particles in an aqueous solution and containing highly viable cells and may be rapidly prepared at bedside or in the operating room and conveniently delivered to a patient through a syringe or similar applicator. The morselized Tissues Particles may be used for surgical applications including wound healing, cosmetic surgery, and orthopedic cartilage repairs.
Claims10
A process for wound healing treatment using autologous micrograft tissue comprising;
- excising a tissue biopsy;
- placing said biopsy and a sterile fluid in an aseptic container;
- morselizing said biopsy into morsels in said container by repeated/umatically slicing said biopsy between a pair of cutting blades supported in juxtaposition while maintaining viability of the morsels;
- separating said morsels from said fluid;
- transferring said morsels to a dispenser;
- and
- dispensing said morsels over a surface of said wound.
