Systems and Methods for Bone and Tissue Harvesting

A tissue containment system, comprising:

• a. a suction canister that includes an internal reservoir, the suction canister defining a longitudinal axis and an open end,
• b. a tissue containment insert removably received within the internal reservoir of the suction canister through the open end, the tissue containment insert including a discontinuous side wall that defines a gap or opening and that partially encloses a region for tissue collection and accumulation and including at least one extension finger extending axially from the discontinuous side wall to facilitate removal of the tissue containment insert from the suction canister, and
• c. a cap removably secured at the open end of the suction canister,
• wherein the at least one extension finger is positioned entirely within the suction canister when the cap is secured at the open end of the suction canister;
• and
• wherein the gap or opening of the discontinuous side wall of the tissue containment insert is dimensioned so as to permit withdrawal of collected and accumulated tissue from the region for tissue collection and accumulation through the gap or opening.
