Abstract:
A system and method for harvesting autologous tissue, mincing it into fragments that are visible and measureable when filtered, and delivering a portion of the tissue back into the patient without the need to directly touch the tissue. During the same surgical procedure, the tissue can be mixed with a biocompatible agent before introduction into the repair site.
