Abstract
The glue-on tissue mount is a device to hold small and/or irregular-shaped biologic tissue so tissue can be manipulated, cut, trimmed, split or divide for transplant and reconstructive surgery. Biologic tissue is quickly mounted onto an acrylic mount with fast-bonding cyanoacrylate glue. On the mount tissue can be held firmly. The tissue can be cut on the mount like on a cutting board or dissected into layers. The mount can rest on flat surfaces and be used with an operating microscope or held between fingers. The glue-on tissue mount has a spherical acrylic mounting surface or flat acrylic mounting surface upon which the tissue is glued. The size and shape of the tissue determines if a spherical or flat mount is used. The mounting surface is attached to a cylindrical base that is easily held. If the glue adhesion breaks the tissue can be anchored with sutures tied to the eyelets in the hexagonal footing of the base . The glue-on tissue mount can be used for cutting a variety of biologic tissue or biologic material.
