A device for separating a sample of tissue in a controlled and precise manner and, more particularly, to produce a piece of tissue having a generally planar configuration and, optionally, additional desired characteristics, such as a predetermined maximum thickness, and selected tissue type. The device is adjustable to allow for different thicknesses and different operational speeds for application to different types of recovered tissue samples.

Tissue separation device and methods for using same

A sterile composite bone graft for use in implants comprising a T shaped cortical bone load bearing member mated to a cancellous member. The crosspiece of the T defines an inner planar surface and dove tail shaped mating member extends outward from the inner planar surface. The allograft cancellous bone member defines tapered side walls on the exterior surface of the body, a flat proximal end surface and a flat distal end surface. A dove tail shaped recess with the narrowest portion exiting the flat proximal end surface is cut into the interior of the cancellous member body. The dove tail shaped member and dove tail shaped recess are mated together to hold both component members together. Pins are mounted in both members to provide additional stability.
