Mesher Skin Expansion System, 1.5 to 1 Ratio

This mesher skin expansion system is a mechanical device used in reconstructive and burn surgery to create a reticular, or meshed, pattern in a harvested skin graft, expanding its surface area so a smaller donor graft can cover a larger wound. The system includes a main frame, a continuous feed roller, a cutting roller, a ratchet handle and skin graft carriers, together forming the complete mechanism needed to feed the graft through the rollers and cut the mesh pattern as it passes.

5 to 1 and 3 to 1, meaning the machine can achieve different levels of expansion from the same size of donor graft depending on which ratio is selected for the case, giving the surgical team flexibility based on how much coverage is needed and how much donor skin is available. This kind of equipment is particularly important in extensive burn cases, where donor skin is limited and covering a large wound area efficiently is a priority for patient outcomes.

Plastic surgeons, burn unit surgeons and reconstructive surgical teams use skin graft meshers like this as part of skin grafting procedures.
