ABSTRACT:
A cartilage and graft palette structure with a bottom, upwardly extending front and rear walls and two lateral walls interconnecting the front and rear walls to form the frame of a generally rectangular tray-like structure, as viewed in plan view. The front and rear walls as well as the lateral walls are of predetermined thickness to assure structural stability of the palette structure and to provide a peripheral rim having a sufficient width to accommodate at least a scale along the top of one of the walls. The bottom has an upper non-metallic surface which minimizes unsatisfactory tactile feedback to the surgeon by way of a surgical instrument and reduces the risk of slippage as a cartilage or graft is cut. The palette structure also offers sufficient fluid-tightness on the inside of the tray-like structure to enable maintenance of moisture of any graft or cartilage.
