Skin Graft Knife Handles
Skin Graft Knife Handles
Skin graft knife handles are surgical instruments that are used to harvest skin for transplantations and grafting procedures. These are sharp, handheld instruments that offer controlled cutting so that a uniform piece can be used for grafting the treatment site.
NewMed offers these instruments, such as dermatome knives and replacement blades, for sound handling of tissue during procedures for the best outcomes.
Types of Skin Graft Knife Handles
There are two main mechanisms that skin graft knife handles work on. The first is manual skin graft knives with an adjustable roller mechanism, and the second one is manual knives with non-oscillating or alternative roller configurations. They also include split-thickness skin graft instruments for freehand harvesting.
The patterns that work on these mechanisms are Humby, Watson, Silver, Schink, Braithewaite, and Cobbett skin graft knives. But each style is different in thickness and roller construction, for specific skin harvesting in plastic and reconstructive surgeries.
