Abstract
A system for treating a tissue site is provided, the system including a graft preparation device for treating a tissue site, the preparation device including an elongate inner member having a proximal end connected to a handle and a distal end including an abrasive end configured for abrading the tissue site, and an elongate outer member movably attached to the elongate inner member, the elongate outer member including a tapered end. The elongate outer member is movable between a first position for covering the abrasive end and a second position for exposing the abrasive end. Following treatment of the tissue site using the graft preparation device to remove soft tissue and cause bleeding, the tissue site is distracted and an implant body is inserted into the tissue site.
