Abstract

The method of comminution of soft tissue (4) from animal or human bodies is performed by a mechanism (10) which exhibits a supply vessel (1), cutter member (2) and collector (3) and forms a closure impermeable to germs against the environment The tissue is removed from the body in a sterile environment, and filled into the supply vessel of the opened mechanism. After the supply vessel has been assembled together with the clutter member and the collector into a mechanism ready for operation, by the employment of pressure-exerting means, preferably compressed gas (11'), the tissue is delivered from the supply vessel into the collector, the tissue being comminuted at the same time by the cutter member.
