Skin Grafting
The Power of Precision
For more than 50 years, Zimmer Biomet has been committed to precision when it comes to skin grafting.
Accurate
- Zimmer Dermatomes are designed to provide accurate cuts every time. Each device delivers a smooth, high-speed blade action which allows forvirtually effortless cutting.
Added Safety Features
- Because safety is always a concern, the Dermatomes incorporate a safety lever to help prevent accidental activation during handling. The blade of the new Dermatome AN comes with a protective blade cover to minimize exposure to sharps during assembly.
Simple
- Along with performance, we have also made Zimmer Biomet’s skin grafting instruments simple to maintain for convenience and durability. The cutting blades don’t require lubrication.
Easy-To-Use
- Our handpieces have a slim, sleek design that makes it easy even for smaller hands to hold and control with either hand. Their design aims also to provide a natural fit to enhance accuracy and reduce hand fatigue.
