Zusammenfassung: | A tissue harvesting and wound closing device includes first and second actuator strip guides of a strip that are slideable along first and second panel guides of a panel, respectively. A first section of a base of the actuator strip has a substantially uniform width between the first and the second actuator strip guides. A second section of the base has a gradually decreasing width between the first and second actuator strip guides. A third second section of the base has a substantially uniform width between the first and second actuator strip guides that is smaller than the first width. When the actuator strip is pulled, the first and second actuator guides slide along the first and second panel guides, respectively, to cut a strip of tissue strip creating an open wound, and a panel pulls proximal tissue on opposite sides of the open wound to close the wound. |
