More Information
Summary:An instrument for harvesting bone comprised of an elongate body (20) having a hollow (32), and a proximal end and a distal end communicating with one another through the hollow. A loop shaped blade (12) having a curved cutting edge (14) adjacent to a curved aperture (16) or cutting or abrading bone is located at the distal end of th e instrument. The cut or abraded bone moves through the aperture and into the hollow for storage. The retractable blade provides access to th e stored bone for manipulation as needed, and a plunger (24) in the handle advances the bone for placement in the recipient site.
