A surgical kit for cartilage repair at an articulating surface of a joint, including a medical implant and a set of tools. The medical implant includes a substantially plate shaped implant body having a predetermined cross-section that substantially corresponds to the area of the damaged cartilage. The set of tools includes a guide tool including a positioning body and a guide channel. The positioning body has a cartilage contact surface that has a shape and contour that is designed to correspond to and to fit the contour of the cartilage or subchondral bone in the joint in a predetermined area surrounding the site of diseased cartilage. The guide channel has a cross-sectional profile that is designed to correspond to the cross-section of the plate shaped implant body. Additional tools in the set of tools have a cross-sectional profile that is designed to correspond to the cross-sectional profile of the guide channel.

Surgical kit for cartilage repair comprising implant and a set of tools

A manufacturing system for a surgical kit includes surgical tools and an implant for cartilage repair in an articulating surface of a joint. The design system includes the basic blocks of: I. Receiving design parameters for a surgical kit in a computer controlled manufacturing system, the design parameters for the surgical kit representing a model for a medical implant and a guide tool for implanting the implant; II. Manufacturing a medical implant dependent on the design parameters; and III. Manufacturing a guide tool for implanting the implant dependent on design parameters.
