Tobra Bone Basket

Transforming how surgeons collect and use bone for grafting.

Tobra Medical partnered with Sanner to develop a surgical device that allows surgeons to easily and aseptically capture a clean, high-quality sample of patients’ bone particulate for allograft use. The goal was to improve surgical workflow while reducing the reliance on costly bone substitutes and biologics.

The Challenge

Surgeons need a device that can reliably capture bone particulate aseptically, maximize autologous bone collection, and integrate seamlessly into existing surgical procedures. At the time of this project, there were only a few similar products on the market. There had to be a better way for surgeons to capture cleaner and higher-quality samples.

Our Approach

We transformed the Tobra Bone Basket from a simple concept into a fully developed, manufacturable surgical device. Our team designed custom injection-molded components and continues to support the product through in-house manufacturing as a Class 2 Exempt device.

Results

A small and compact surgical device for in-line collection of bone dust that is easy to set up and assists surgeons in maximizing the collection of autologous bone. The Bone Basket also provides cost savings by reducing the amount of costly bone substitutes, biologics and allografts needed.
