Abstract

A manufacturing system for a surgical kit includes surgical tools and an implant for cartilage repair in an articulating surface of a joint. The design system includes the basic blocks of: I. Receiving design parameters for a surgical kit in a computer controlled manufacturing system, the design parameters for the surgical kit representing a model for a medical implant and a guide tool for implanting the implant; II. Manufacturing a medical implant dependent on the design parameters; and III. Manufacturing a guide tool for implanting the implant dependent on design parameters.
