Abstract
A graft preparation board that enables an exact tensioning of soft tissue grafts. The graft preparation board allows the amount of tensile load to be easily determined so that the operator can precisely control the amount of tension to be applied. The graft preparation board also enables higher tensions to be placed on graft tissues to be used in surgery.
