Dermatome must be sterilized
prior to use (refer to page 17 Sterilization
Section for instructions). The Model SB
Dermatome is equipped with a detachable
cord. The detachable cord is color-coded. The
silver end connects into the hand piece and
the black end connects to the power supply.
It is not possible to connect the cord to the
wrong receptacles as they are keyed differently
to accept the correct end of the cord. The

The on/off switch is on top of the hand piece
and is operated with the thumb. Push the
switch forward for continuous mode. Pull the
switch back to return to the off position.
The blade should be given a very thin coat
of sterile 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” marker is facing the
operator. The blade grommet hole is to be
placed over the dermatome’s oscillating pin.
Refer to illustration. 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 lint 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.
