Abstract
Methods are described for using a surgical instrument that includes clamp heads that can be nestled within or extended from a tubular sheath by longitudinal movement of the tubular sheath with respect to the clamp heads' tines. One of the tines includes an arch that slides against a mouth and inside wall of the tubular sheath, causing the clamp heads to open or close. The clamp heads close lightly, to within a predetermined (or zero) distance from one another, gently grasp an ultrathin polymer substrate seeded with cells, and hold it while the sheath pulls over such that the substrate curls and folds to protect the cells.
