Humby Skin Graft Knife (Dermatome) – Grooved Roller, Left or Right Handed
$54.00 – $304.00Price range: $54.00 through $304.00
BusinessMed® Humby Skin Graft Knife is a dermatome knife — Humby’s knife in most surgical catalogs — with a grooved roller bar set by thumb screws, used to harvest split-thickness skin grafts for burns and other skin loss.
- Left- or right-handed models
- Replaceable single-use blade
- Wooden storage case
BusinessMed® Humby Skin Graft Knife keeps the layout Graham Humby published in 1936: a roller bar runs just in front of the blade, a screw at each end raises or lowers it, and the gap between roller and edge is what decides how thick the slice of skin will be.
Key features of the Humby knife
- Grooved roller bar: the grooves let the roller turn and rock against the skin while the knife is drawn back and forth, so it rides over the donor site instead of dragging the skin ahead of the blade.
- Thumb screws on the pillars: the thickness is set by hand before the cut, at both ends of the roller.
What is a Humby knife used for?
- Split-thickness skin grafting: shaving an even sheet of epidermis and upper dermis from a healthy donor site.
- Burn and reconstructive surgery: a reusable dermatome tool for grafting burns, trauma wounds and other areas of lost skin in plastic surgery.
