2.1 System components

Designation
Skin mesh dermatome, complete with hand ratchet BA720R
Carrier plate for expansion factor 1.5; sterile
Carrier plate for expansion factor 3; sterile

2.2 Intended use

The skin mesh dermatome is used for the cutting and scoring of skin grafts
in general, burns and plastic surgery.

2.3 Mode of operation

The cutting cylinder 2 is turned anticlockwise with hand ratchet 12.
Carrier plate 5 transports the skin graft between cutting cylinder 2 and
counter cylinder 3. During this transport, the skin graft is scored or cut.
The cutting depth is set with setting wheel 6, using scale 18. The
staggered slits in the skin graft allow expanding the graft to rhombic skin
mesh. The skin mesh can be used for covering defects of up to six times
the size of the grafting site.
