ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel tissue cutting device for autologous tissue heart valves which accurately cuts the tissue to a predetermined configuration in a minimal amount of time. The disposable tissue cutting die of the present invention is comprised of a cover, a base member, a continuous blade enclosing a desired spatial configuration and an actuator for forcing said tissue against the entire perimeter of the blade.
