Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method for harvesting small portions of tissue (“micrografts”) to form grafts can be provided. For example, a hollow tube can be inserted into tissue at a donor site, where a distal end of the hollow tube can have two or more points or extensions to facilitate separation of the micrografts from the surrounding tissue. The exemplary apparatus can be provided that includes a plurality of such tubes for simultaneous harvesting of a plurality of micrografts. The harvested micrografts can have a small dimension, e.g., less than about 1 mm, or less than about 0.3 mm, which can promote healing of the donor site and / or viability of the harvested tissue. The micrografts can be approximately cylindrical or strip-shaped, and can be placed in a biocompatible matrix to form a graft or directly into tissue at the recipient site. Such exemplary micrografts can be obtained from skin or other types of tissue, e.g., various internal organs.

Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method for obtaining one or more portions of biological tissue (“micrografts”) to form grafts are provided. For example, a hollow tube can be inserted into tissue at a donor site, and a pin provided within the tube can facilitate controlled removal of the micrograft from the tube. Micrografts can be harvested and directly implanted into an overlying biocompatible matrix through coordinated motion of the tube and pin. A needle can be provided around the tube to facilitate a direct implantation of a micrograft into a remote recipient site or matrix. The exemplary apparatus can include a plurality of such tubes and pins for simultaneous harvesting and / or implanting of a plurality of micrografts. The harvested micrografts can have a small dimension, e.g., less than about 1 mm, which can promote healing of the donor site and / or viability of the harvested tissue.

This invention discloses an autologous bone graft guide assembly and an autologous bone trimming method. The guide assembly includes a bone harvesting guide, a titanium screw guide, a bone grafting guide, a trephine, a drill bit, and titanium screws. Each of the bone harvesting guide, titanium screw guide, and bone grafting guide includes interconnected positioning and operating areas. The operating area of ​​the bone harvesting guide includes a trephine positioning hole. The operating area of ​​the titanium screw guide includes a titanium screw positioning hole, the positioning area of ​​which is the same as that of the bone harvesting guide, and the position of the titanium screw positioning hole corresponds to the center of the trephine positioning hole. The operating area of ​​the bone grafting guide includes a bone graft positioning hole of the same size as the trephine positioning hole. This guide assembly unifies the donor site bone harvesting boundary, pre-drilled hole site, and recipient site bone graft fixation position on the same spatial reference, achieving millimeter-level precise navigation and titanium screw fixation throughout the autologous bone grafting process. It is particularly suitable for "more harvesting, less grafting" clinical scenarios in the oral cavity where bone removal is required in the donor site and bone grafting is required in the recipient site, significantly improving autologous bone utilization and surgical predictability.
