What is the unique geometry of the harvester in the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System designed for?

The unique geometry of the harvester in the OsteoAuger Bone Graft Harvesting System is specifically designed for cutting and morcellizing bone into small chips. This capability is essential because it allows for the effective collection of usable bone graft material while minimizing the trauma to the surrounding tissues. The small bone chips can then be easily packed and utilized in various orthopedic procedures, promoting easier handling and integration into the surgical site.

This feature stands out compared to other functions like harvesting large segments of bone, which would typically require different instruments, or efforts aimed at enhancing overall bone strength, which is not directly related to the device's physical design. Additionally, while minimizing surgical time is an important consideration in surgical practice, the primary engineering focus of this harvester's geometry is the precise creation of small bone chips for optimal grafting purposes.
