Method for tissue grafting
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a method for tissue grafting. The method includes obtaining tissue harvested from an individual, obtaining allograft material, placing the allograft material in a chamber, adding the tissue to the allograft material in the chamber with force to create graft material, and implanting the graft material in the individual.
1. A method for tissue grafting, the method comprising:
obtaining tissue harvested from an individual;
obtaining allograft material;
placing the allograft material in a chamber;
adding the tissue to the allograft material in the chamber with force to create graft material; and
implanting the graft material in the individual,
wherein air pressure is used to generate the force to create the graft material.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein fluid is expressed from the tissue during the step of adding the tissue to the allograft material.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein the tissue included in the graft material is in a viable living condition.
4. A method for tissue grafting, the method comprising:
removing tissue from a human patient's body;
placing a retainer into a chamber;
adding the tissue to the retainer in the chamber with force to create graft material, wherein air pressure is used to generate the force; and
implanting the graft material in the human patient's body, wherein the tissue included in the graft material is in a viable living condition, the retainer is made of allograft material taken from a donor, and the donor and patient are different individuals.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding an antibiotic to the graft material prior to implanting the graft material.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the tissue is reduced in volume during the step of adding the tissue to the allograft material.
