Abstract
A biological graft transferring instrument for transferring a biological graft includes a main body, a displacement member capable of being displaced relative to the main body, and a belt-shaped member which is wound around the forward end and base end of the displacement member and is joined to the main body. The biological graft is placed on the belt-shaped member at the forward end of the displacement member.
Claims15
A biological graft transferring instrument for transferring a biological graft, comprising:
- a main body;
- a displacement member movably positioned relative to the main body, the displacement member having a forward end at one longitudinal end of the displacement member and a base end at an opposite longitudinal end of the displacement member, the displacement member also possessing a front surface and a back surface facing in opposite directions;
- a belt-shaped member possessing first and second ends at opposite longitudinally spaced ends of the belt-shaped member, the first end of the belt-shaped member being secured to the main body so that the first end is fixed in place relative to the main body, the second end of the belt-shaped member being secured to the main body so that the second end is fixed in place relative to the main body, the first and second ends being fixed in position relative to each other;
- the belt-shaped member extending around the front surface and the back surface of the displacement member over a longitudinal extent of the displacement member and extending around the forward end and the base end of the displacement member so that a first portion of the belt-shaped member extending from the first end of the belt-shaped member toward the forward end of the displacement member faces the front surface of the displacement member, so that a second portion of the belt-shaped member extending from the second end of the belt-shaped member toward the base end of the displacement member faces the front surface of the displacement member, and so that a portion of the belt-shaped member between the first and second portions faces the back surface of the displacement member;
- and
- the first portion of the belt-shaped member being configured to receive the biological graft being placed on the belt-shaped member;
- wherein the main body includes a through hole, and the displacement member passes completely through the through hole so that the displacement member extends outwardly beyond opposite open ends of the through hole;
- wherein the through hole extends along a longitudinal axis of the main body;
- and
- wherein the main body includes an opening on each longitudinal end thereof and the through hole extends between the openings of both longitudinal ends of the main body.

- a belt-shaped member wound around the forward end and the base end of the displacement member and fixed to the main body so that the belt-shaped member extends around the top surface, the forward end, the bottom surface, and the base end of the displacement member;
- and
- the biological graft being placed on the belt-shaped member at the forward end of the displacement member;
- wherein the main body includes a through hole, and the displacement member passes completely through the through hole so that the displacement member extends outwardly beyond opposite open ends of the through hole;
- wherein the through hole extends along a longitudinal axis of the main body;
- and
- wherein the main body includes an opening on each longitudinal end thereof and the through hole extends between the openings of both longitudinal ends of the main body.
