Clinical Application
This spare blade is intended to provide a sharp, replaceable cutting surface for procedures that require controlled thin-slice harvesting and precise trimming of skin grafts. It is used in dermatologic and reconstructive procedures including split-thickness skin graft harvest, graft defatting, edge shaping, and preparation of grafts for transplantation in burn, trauma, and plastic surgery cases. A fresh, well-maintained blade helps produce uniform graft thickness and reduces shearing forces on donor skin, improving graft take.
Design & Configuration
The blade is configured as a replaceable cutting element to be mounted on a dedicated Schink skin grafting knife handle. The low-profile, fine cutting edge and thin blade geometry facilitate smooth, controlled slicing across the donor site with minimal tissue drag. A replaceable design lets the clinician restore optimal cutting performance between cases without replacing the entire handle, supporting consistent technique and predictable graft quality.
