Abstract:
A system and method for holding a cutting tool at a predetermined distance from a defined cutting surface to prepare a tissue flap of substantially uniform thickness for optimal viability. A tissue holder plate having a vacuum chamber is provided to stabilize the tissue mass, and a cutting tool holder and guide plate restrict the movement of the cutting tool with respect to the tissue holder plate.

Claim (Index 2):
A surgical device for preparing a tissue flap from a tissue mass, the surgical device comprising:\n an electro-mechanical actuator in communication with a computer controller having stored thereon a control algorithm; a tissue holder plate configured to securely hold the tissue mass a predetermined distance from and orientation to the electro-mechanical actuator; a support member coupled between the electro-mechanical actuator and the tissue holder plate; and a tool holder coupled to the electro-mechanical actuator and configured to receive a cutting tool for cutting the tissue flap from the tissue mass; wherein the control algorithm is configured to restrict movement of the cutting tool to a predefined range of motion relative to the tissue mass and the electro-mechanical actuator to enable the cutting tool to cut the tissue mass in the predefined range of motion, thereby preparing a tissue flap with a substantially uniform predetermined thickness from the tissue mass.
