摘要：
Described are graft devices useful for treating surgical defects, delivery implements for delivery of the graft devices, combinations thereof, and methods for the preparation and use thereof. In certain aspects a tonsillectomy graft can include convexly curved outer edges, where the graft is sized and configured such that these outer edges reside proximate and along tonsillar pillars bounding a surgical tonsillectomy defect. The graft can include one or more pull tethers laced to the graft and functional to draw these outer edges toward one another when tensioned. The graft can be combined with a delivery implement having a delivery head and attached handle, where the delivery head is sized for receipt onto the tonsillectomy defect to deliver the graft. Additional product features, as well as associated methods, are also described.
