"Jig" refers to a device, system, structure, and/or apparatus in manufacturing, fabrication, surgery, or other endeavors for controlling the location, path of movement, or both of either a workpiece or the tool that is operating upon the workpiece. Subsets of this general class include machining jigs, graft harvesting jigs, woodworking jigs, welders' jigs, jewelers' jigs, and many others. (Search "jig" on wordhippo.com. WordHippo, 2023. Web. Modified. Accessed Feb. 17, 2023.) In the context of a surgical procedure, a jig can facilitate resection and/or shaping of a workpiece such as a tissue graft.
