Zimmer Skin Grafting Products

Zimmer® Air and Electric Dermatomes

When it comes to skin grafting instruments, Zimmer, with over 50 years of experience, gives you the power of precision, but also the power of choice. You choose the power source that works best for you with the Zimmer Air or Electric Dermatome skin grafting instruments.  Both deliver a smooth cutting action that produce clean, uniform grafts.

Accurate

With the Zimmer Air and Electric Dermatomes, you get accurate cuts time and time again.  Both deliver smooth, high-speed cutting action which allows for virtually effortless cutting.  Cut thicknesses are easily selected and constantly maintained using a calibrated dial.  Uniform graft widths are maintained with width plates that insert quickly and easily.  Our precision cutting blades are packaged sterile and require no lubrication.

Articulate

Maneuverable and easy-to-use, the Zimmer Air and Electric Dermatome feature slim hand pieces that are easy to hold and control with either hand.   Their sleek, articulate design provides a natural fit to enhance accuracy and lower hand fatigue.  Both instruments, which are quiet and nearly vibration-free, are activated using a handle-mounted switch.

Simple

Zimmer’s skin grafting instruments are simple to maintain with annual required maintenance.  The motor requires no lubrication and blades are easily inserted without damaging the cutting edge.  Designed for easy, thorough cleaning, Zimmer skin grafting instruments can be sterilized by both pre-vacuum and gravity air displacement steam sterilization methods.
