How to Use the Electric Dermatome Models B and PI
2
The Integra Padgett Electric Dermatome is
equipped with an explosion proof plug and
12 ft. (3.66 m) cable. The on/off switch is
shown in the view. It is operated with the
index finger. The entire instrument, cable, and
plug can be placed in a steam autoclave to be
sterilized. Do not sterilize the power supply
or power supply wall cord.
Do not use a high
temperature, dry heat autoclave, as it will
damage the motor.
CAUTION: Blades are single use only.
Do not re-use blades.
The blade should be given a very thin coat
of mineral oil on both sides before insertion.
Hold the dermatome in both hands as shown
in the picture. Place the blade such that
the “This Side Up” marking is facing the
operator. The blade’s grommet hole is to be
placed over the dermatome’s oscillating pin.
Place both thumbs over the eccentric screws
and push the blade down and forward. The
blade will easily fall into place. The blade and
dermatome blade bed should be free from
particulate or other foreign objects which
may hinder free movement of the blade. The
blade is removed by lifting up with both index
fingers using the slots at each end of the
blade.
Select the desired size width clip and fasten
in place with the Integra Padgett supplied
dermatome screwdriver as shown. Be sure
there is no lint or other foreign object on the
width clip that could restrict free movement
of the blade. The screws should be sufficiently
tightened to prevent screw loosening during
dermatome operation. Excessively tightened
screws may cause dermatome performance
issues or permanent device damage. Only
use the Integra Padgett supplied dermatome
screwdriver to tighten the screws.
