Systems and Methods for Autologous Regeneration of Tissue

A system comprising:

• a first plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the first plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a first respective tissue portion from a tissue site, wherein the first respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• a second plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the second plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a second respective tissue portion from the tissue site, wherein the second respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• an actuation system configured to independently translate the first plurality of hollow tubes and the second plurality of hollow tubes;
• and
• wherein the actuation system includes:
• a spring;
• a plunger coupled to the spring;
• a motor coupled to the plunger and configured to load the spring;
• a brake configured to lock the plunger to prevent unloading of the spring;
• and
• wherein the brake is configured to release the plunger to allow the spring to unload and drive the plunger thereby forcing the first plurality of hollow tubes into the tissue site.

A system comprising:

• a housing;
• a plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a respective tissue portion from a tissue site, wherein the respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• an image sensor coupled to the housing and configured to acquire one or more images of the tissue site or other surrounding area;
• a display;
• and
• one or more computing devices in communication with the image sensor and the display, the one or more computing devices being configured to:
• acquire, using the image sensor, an image of at least a portion of the tissue site;
• and
• cause the display to present the image of the portion of the tissue site.

A system comprising:

• a first plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the first plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a first respective tissue portion from a tissue site, wherein the first respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• a second plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the second plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a second respective tissue portion from the tissue site, wherein the second respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• a peripheral housing that surrounds the first plurality of hollow tubes and the second plurality of hollow tubes;
• a stabilizer coupled to the peripheral housing, the stabilizer separating the first plurality of hollow tubes from the second plurality of hollow tubes;
• and
• wherein the peripheral housing and the stabilizer are configured to be forced against the tissue site to stabilize the tissue site during insertion of the first plurality of hollow tubes or the second plurality of hollow tubes into the tissue site.

A system comprising:

• a housing;
• a plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a respective tissue portion from a tissue site and subsequently dispense the respective tissue portion onto a target site, wherein the respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• an image sensor coupled to the housing and configured to acquire one or more images of the tissue site;
• a light source coupled to the housing;
• and
• one or more computing devices in communication with the image sensor and the light source, the one or more computing devices being configured to at least one of:
• cause the light source to illuminate the target site during acquisition of an image of the target site by the image sensor;
• or
• cause the light source to project an illumination pattern at the target site, the position of the illumination pattern corresponding with a scattering location of the tissue portions from the plurality of hollow tubes onto the tissue site.

A system comprising:

• a housing;
• a plurality of hollow tubes, each hollow tube of the plurality of hollow tubes being configured to harvest a respective tissue portion from a tissue site and subsequently dispense the respective tissue portion onto a target site, wherein the respective tissue portion includes skin tissue;
• a scattering system configured to dispense the tissue portion from each hollow tube of the plurality of hollow tubes onto the target site;
• and
• a substrate coupled to or removably coupled to the housing, the substate being adjustable to adjust a distance between the plurality of hollow tubes and the target site;
• and
• wherein a portion of the substate contacts the target site when the scattering system dispenses the portions of tissue from the plurality of hollow tubes.
