ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manually securing a bone graft from a donor site and delivering the bone graft to an acceptor site includes a hollow cylindrical cutter and a solid inner cylindrical plunger. The cutter has a cutting end and a grasping end, with the cutting end being tapered to a sharp edge for cutting the bone graft from the donor site. The plunger is engageable with the hollow cutter to push the retained bore graft from the cutter into the acceptor site. Equidistantly spaced markings on the cutter and plunger can be used to gauge the depth of the bone graft.
