ABSTRACT:
A tissue press for shaping or compressing a piece of tissue comprises first and second members movable relative to each other. Tissue removed from a human body is placed in the press. The press is operated to apply pressure against the human tissue. The human tissue is maintained in a viable living condition during operation of the press. Means are preferably provided for monitoring and controlling the amount of pressure applied to the piece of tissue, in order to maintain the tissue in a viable living condition. Means may also be provided for draining off fluid from compressed tissue, so that the tissue can be implanted in a compressed state and imbibe fluid from the host site. A retainer, which may be expandable, can be used to maintain the tissue graft in a compressed condition.
