Abstract

The present disclosure includes a surgical kit for preparing a damaged area of a human knee to receive at least one graft. The kit includes a moldable material positioned over the damaged area to form a template. Desirably, a tape is placed over the template and cut to correspond to a template area so that the tape is used to determine the number and/or a dimension of the openings and the number and/or dimension of a corresponding graft to be inserted into each opening. The graft is adhered to a surface of the tape.
