Schink Dermatome (skin grafting knife) 30cm

Clinical Application

This manual skin grafting knife is intended for harvesting split-thickness skin grafts and for precise skin excisions during reconstructive, burn, and general plastic surgery procedures. It is used where controlled, tactile feedback is required to achieve uniform grafts on donor sites such as the trunk and extremities. The instrument is appropriate for clinics and operating rooms that perform small-to-medium graft harvests or require a manual technique for contouring grafts on curved or irregular surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 30 cm geometry provides extended reach and improved stability for long, continuous harvests, allowing the operator to maintain a consistent angle and pressure across the donor site. A streamlined, handheld configuration offers direct tactile control that many surgeons prefer when working on delicate areas or when a powered dermatome is impractical. The length and balance reduce rocking and help produce more uniform graft thickness when used with proper manual technique.
