Abstract: In one embodiment, a tissue planing assembly includes a base frame, a plurality of disassemblable components assembled to the base frame and having a ready configuration, a sample conveyor, a blade assembly configured to be coupled to the base frame, a control unit communicatively coupled to the sample conveyor, and one or more component sensors communicatively coupled to the control unit. The plurality of disassemblable components is configured to support a tissue sample. The sample conveyor is configured to convey the tissue sample through the blade assembly. The one or more components sensors are configured to output a signal indicative of at least one of the plurality of disassemblable components missing from the ready configuration, wherein the control unit prohibits operation of the sample conveyor when at least one of the plurality of disassemblable components is missing from the ready configuration.

Abstract: A graft preparation system that includes a base, a guide extending laterally outward from the base and including a top interface and a bottom interface that removably receives a graft thereon, and a plurality of slots extending through the guide between the top interface and the bottom interface. Each slot of the plurality of slots are sized to receive a needle therethrough such that the plurality of slots form a plurality of channels from the top interface to the bottom interface. The guide is configured to facilitate placement of a suture attached to the needle from the top interface into at least one of the channels formed by the plurality of slots such that the suture is received through the graft at the bottom interface.

Abstract: A tissue planing assembly includes a vacuum table, a gantry system, and a cutting device. The vacuum table includes a cutting surface configured to receive a tissue sample and apply a vacuum pressure to the tissue sample. The gantry system is configured to be positioned over the cutting surface of the vacuum table and includes a blade holder. The blade holder of the gantry system is configured to be adjustable in at least a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction relative to the cutting surface of the vacuum table. The cutting device is configured to be positioned within the blade holder.
