Sklar Rehn Transplantation Knife, Double Edged
A double edged transplantation knife from Sklar used by surgeons to make precise cuts when harvesting or preparing tissue for grafting procedures.
The Sklar Rehn Transplantation Knife has a double edged blade, allowing the surgeon to cut in either direction without needing to reposition the instrument, which can be useful when working through tissue at variable angles during a graft harvesting or transplantation procedure. Surgeons performing skin grafting, tissue transfer or similar reconstructive work use a specialised knife of this kind to achieve clean, even cuts through the tissue being harvested or prepared, which supports better graft take and a more predictable surgical outcome.
A dedicated transplantation knife differs from a general surgical scalpel in its blade geometry, giving the surgeon more control over the depth and angle of cut specific to graft work. Plastic and reconstructive surgery units, as well as burns units performing skin grafting, typically stock a specialised knife like this as part of their tissue harvesting instrument set, used alongside dermatomes and other grafting equipment.
