Keyes Dermal Punch 2mm, 10cm

Clinical Application

A 2 mm dermal punch is used to obtain small, full‑thickness skin specimens for diagnostic histology and to excise small papules, nevi, or epidermal lesions with minimal tissue loss. The 2 mm diameter produces a small circular defect that is often closed primarily with a single suture or allowed to heal by secondary intention in low‑tension areas. Typical users include dermatologists, general surgeons, plastic surgeons, and procedural clinicians performing punch biopsy, lesion removal, or minor office‑based dermatologic procedures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s tubular, circular cutting tip concentrates axial pressure while the clinician applies a controlled rotational motion to core tissue cleanly. A 10 cm overall length provides tactile control and reach for precise placement while maintaining one‑handed operability. The compact 2 mm cutting diameter minimizes tissue disruption and cosmetic impact, which is important for facial or cosmetically sensitive sites.
