Dermatome

Dermatome:

Humeca designed two cordless, battery-operated dermatomes. A small one, the D42, and a larger one, the D80. The D42, a very maneuverable instrument, is an excellent tool in pediatric and general plastic surgery, especially for primary excision and harvesting grafts from curved surfaces. It also facilitates the harvest of the 42×42 mm (1.65×1.65″) grafts required for Humeca’s MEEK technique, speeding up the procedure. The larger D80 dermatome was developed for more general use.

Features:

• Extremely small head of D42 allows precision cutting, especially in problematic zones and pediatric surgery
• Cordless, battery-operated and lightweight design offers optimum maneuverability and mobility
• Precise thickness of the graft from 0.0 to 1.2 mm (0.000 – 0.048”) in 0.1 mm (0.008”) increments
• Graft width of 42 mm (1.65″) assures optimum performance in combination with the MEEK tech­nique
• The use of width-reducing clamps on the dermatome head allows cutting of smaller graft widths
• The battery and motor of the instrument are not sterilized, thus guaranteeing optimum durability
• Thickness adjustment can be fixed to prevent accidental change of graft thickness during cutting
• Safe and quick blade replacement
• Powerful Li-Ion batteries with no memory effect allow long time cutting without intermediate charging

Applications:

• Skin Transplantation Technology
