Sklar Humby-Braithwaite Dermatome Replacement Blade
A replacement blade for the Sklar Humby-Braithwaite dermatome, used to keep the skin graft harvesting instrument fitted with a sharp cutting edge.
This listing covers the replacement blade for the Sklar Humby-Braithwaite Dermatome, a manual instrument used to harvest split thickness skin grafts in plastic and reconstructive surgery and burns care. The dermatome itself shaves a thin, even layer of skin from a donor site, and the cutting performance depends on the sharpness of the fitted blade, which is why a dedicated replacement blade is stocked separately from the handle.
Surgeons and theatre staff swap in a fresh blade before a graft harvesting case to maintain a clean, consistent cut and reduce trauma to the donor site. This listing groups the blade options for the Humby-Braithwaite system, so buyers should check which option matches their existing dermatome handle before ordering.
As a single use or limited use cutting component, it is typically supplied for replacement rather than repeated resharpening, and should be handled and disposed of according to the facility's sharps protocols.
