Skin Graft Knife Handles

View Product Range PDF

With three models to choose from, namely the Braithwaite, Cobbett and Watson, these Stainless Steel Knife Handles are used in conjunction with the sterile 158mm Skin Graft Blades for harvesting "Macro" or "Major" Skin Grafts.The knives have an in-built adjustable guard which can limit the maximal thickness of the graft harvested depending on the properties of the skin at the donor site. This can vary in thickness due to multiple factors including the age of the patient.

The exact thickness of the graft can also depend upon;

1)The contact angle between the blade and skin whilst harvesting
2)The pressure applied by the operator onto the knife whilst harvesting

These are important aspects of skin grafting technique that need to be mastered to enable reproducibly consistent harvesting of high quality split thickness skin grafts.

Fitment:Swann-Morton 9940 Sterile S/S Skin Graft Blades. Three models Braithwaite, Cobbett and Watson.
