Patent ID: 8800158

Claim:
An apparatus for cutting a graft material and fabricating an allograft from said graft material, comprising: a base defining a front of said apparatus, a rear of said apparatus, a left side of said apparatus, a right side of said apparatus, a top of said apparatus, and a bottom of said apparatus, said base having a lead portion and a trail portion, said lead portion have an entry end, said trail portion have an exit end, said entry end and said exit end having substantially the same size and shape; a hood coupled to said base and positioned in overlying relation to said base, said hood having a top portion, a front portion, and a rear portion; a channel disposed between said base and said hood, said channel disposed in overlying relation to said base and in underlying relation to said hood, said channel having an irregular shape to secure said graft material therewithin, said channel having a first end in communication with said entry end of said base, said channel further having a second end in communication with said exit end of said base, said channel being spatially confined on a bottom side, a top side, and a rear side by said base and said hood; a first vertical cutting guide disposed through said top portion of said hood in proximity to said second end of said hood, said first vertical cutting guide providing open communication between said top of said apparatus and an interior of said channel through said first vertical cutting guide, said first vertical cutting guide structured to receive a blade without excessive spatial leeway such that said blade is capable of accurately cutting said graft material from said top of said apparatus through said first vertical cutting guide, said first vertical cutting guide being disposed at a first predetermined angle based on a shape of said allograft needed; and a second vertical cutting guide disposed through said top portion of said hood adjacent to said first vertical cutting guide, said second vertical cutting guide providing open communication between said top of said apparatus and said interior of said channel through said second vertical cutting guide, said second vertical cutting guide structured to receive said blade without excessive spatial leeway such that said blade is capable of accurately cutting said graft material from said top of said apparatus through said second vertical cutting guide, said second vertical cutting guide being disposed at a second predetermined angle based on said shape of said allograft needed.
