3.2 Intended use
The skin mesh dermatome BA720R is used for the cutting of skin grafts in
general, burns and plastic surgery.
3.3 Operating principle
The cutting cylinder 2 is turned anticlockwise with hand ratchet 12. The
carrier plate 5 transports the skin graft between cutting cylinder 2 and
counter cylinder 3. During this transport, the skin graft is cut.
The cutting depth is set with setting wheel 6, using scale 18. The stag-
gered 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.
