Keyes Dermal Punch 8mm, 10cm

Clinical Application

Provides a controlled, circular full-thickness skin specimen for diagnostic biopsy, removal of small cutaneous lesions, or harvesting small grafts. The 8 mm diameter is commonly selected for medium-sized lesions where a representative tissue sample or excision is required; defects at this size frequently permit primary closure. The instrument is suitable for dermatology, general surgery, and outpatient clinic procedures that require predictable specimen diameter and clean peripheral margins.

Design & Configuration

The hollow, cylindrical cutting edge produces a uniform circular specimen with minimal peripheral tissue distortion. An integrated handle and 10 cm overall length deliver tactile control and reach, enabling stable alignment and rotational cutting motions that help reduce crush artifact. The fixed-diameter blade simplifies planning for specimen size and subsequent wound closure.
