Where Dermatome are Used?

One of the indispensable systems is a dermatome machine, a surgical tool, which the doctors use to produce thin slices of skin from donor areas, in order to transplant them later. This device is necessary in combustiology; it is needed to get skin grafts for reconstituting skin areas damaged by burns, especially in case of grade 3 burns.

Types of Dermatomes

Dermatomes differ in a whole range of criteria. The first one is the operating principle, according to which there are the following types of equipment:

rotary dermatomes;
oscillating blade dermatomes.

Type of actuator is one more important classification criterion, according to which dermatomes are subdivided into:

pneumatic;
electric;
mechanical.

Important Specifications

On the market, there are dermatome models, the operation of which is based on oscillating knife movements. The main disadvantage of such equipment is that the skin grafts produced are often of variable thickness. As a result, uneven blade movement slows down the healing and negatively influences the overall quality of the transplant. We recommend considering rotary analogs, as they do not have this defect.
There are manual as well as mechanical rotary dermatomes. The latter are subdivided into:

dermatomes with remote actuators;
dermatomes with built-in actuators;
electric models;
pneumatic models.

If you choose to buy an oscillating blade device, you will have to make a decision regarding type:

Manual. There exist the following types:

knives without graft thickness adjusters (with permanent or disposable cutting blades)
knives with graft thickness adjuster (with permanent or disposable cutting blades);
with lever transmissions and multipliers;
drum type (glue, glue-less, vacuum dermatomes).

2.Mechanical:

Electric models (with remote or built-in actuators);
Pneumatic analogs.

When choosing a device, focus on its functionality and ease of use. Remember, that medical staff will perform very delicate work with this device, so it has to be easy to hold.

How Much Does Dermatome Cost?

The prices of some systems can be as low as 300 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 1.500 USD.
The manufacturer plays a crucial role in making up the electric dermatome price. The more famous the brand the more expensive the machine, as the brand name itself says a lot about the quality and longevity.ZIMMER,AESCULAP,BARD-PARKER,PADGETT, are considered to be the most well-known. Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used ones. What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair
