GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
Zimmer
Tissue Bank Dermatome is an electrically
powered instrument designed specifically for tissue
retrieval procedures.
It is intended for use on cadavers
only
, and not for living patients requiring skin grafts.
This instrument is designed for retrieving tissue in
thicknesses ranging from 0 to .060 in. (0 to 1.52 mm) in
.004 in. (.102 mm) increments. It also allows a choice of
either 3 or 4 in. (7.6 and 10.2 cm) skin widths using the
two width plates included. Two stainless steel machine
screws secure the plates to the underside of the
instrument. The plates are easily fastened and removed
with the screwdriver provided.
This dermatome is powered by an ironless rotor, low
inertia motor, which provides nearly vibration-free power.
