Skin Graft Knives and Dermatomes: Humby, Cobbett, Braithwaite and Schink
A skin graft knife takes a thin, even slice of healthy skin from a donor site so it can cover an area of tissue loss. This collection brings together six skin graft knives, dermatomes and a graft mesher for plastic surgeons and burn units. Prices start from $55.00, and every instrument ships from Sialkot with worldwide delivery.
Humby and Cobbett Knives
Both of these patterns use an adjustable roller to control how thick the graft is. The Humby Dermatome Skin Graft Knife comes in right and left-handed versions from $55.00, with a replaceable blade and an adjustable roller. The Cobbett Skin Graft Knife 36.5cm starts from $55.00, and thumbscrews on the support pillars adjust the graft thickness. Both come with options on the product page.
Braithwaite and Silver Knives
The Braithwaite Skin Graft Knife 12" starts from $77.00 and is a traditional graft knife for harvesting skin from donor sites such as the thigh. The Silver Dermatome Skin Graft Knife 19cm, listed with 10 blades, is priced at $55.00 but is currently sold out, so please contact us for availability.
Schink Dermatome
The SCHINK Dermatome Skin Graft Knife starts from $108.90 and is a dermatome pattern for harvesting graft skin. It comes with options on the product page.
Skin Graft Mesher
A mesher cuts a harvested graft into a mesh pattern, so it can cover a larger area. The Skin Graft Masher starts from $548.90 and comes with graft carrier plates. Check the product page for what is included.
Choosing the Right Instrument
Think about the donor site, the graft size and your preferred hand. Humby knives come in right and left versions, and adjustable roller patterns let you set the thickness. Check that replacement blades are available for the pattern you choose, and check each product page for lengths and options.
Complete Your Plastic Surgery Tray
Graft knives work alongside the rest of the plastic surgery set. See our full range of plastic surgery instruments and ready-made plastic surgery sets. Our plastic surgery range also includes knives and handles, scissors, forceps and retractors.
Care and Handling
Blades are sharp, so handle and dispose of them using your facility’s sharps protocol. Clean and dry the knife and roller after each case, and check that the roller turns smoothly and the thickness setting holds. Replace any blade that is dull or damaged.
