  • the invention relates generally to a surgical apparatus, and, more particularly, it relates to dermatoms having reciprocable knives.
  • the invention can be advantageously employed for cutting skin transplants of a relatively great width for plastic surgery purposes, e.g. in cases of large burns.
  • Dermatomes are known in the prior art.
  • a known dermatome has a bail-shaped housing incorporating guides in the form of pins.
  • a knife with a specially-designed replaceable blade is reciprocable along centric crank means associated with the drive shaft.
  • the transplant thickness adjusting means includes a movable member adapted to vary the'size of the gap above the knife, relative to the transplant being cut away.
  • the means for limiting the width of the skin transplant are mounted on the guide pins which are disposed in front of the knife and in the front portion of the housing.
  • a spindle is mounted between the pins having two sets of threads of opposite spiral, the two portions meeting at the center of the spindle.
  • Each one of the two transplant width limiting means moves along its respective thread.
  • One of the ends of the spindle projects exteriorly from the housing and carries a handle by means of which the spindle can be manually rotated in order to adjust the two transplant width limiting means symmetrically and simultaneously.
  • This known dermotome displays in its operation considerable housing vibration, due to the reciprocating motion of the knife.
  • the vibration of the housing affects the conditions of the transplant being cut away, and, consequently, brings down the productivity of the dermotome and hampers the quality of the transplant, namely, the transplant is apt to have uneven thickness and even local perforations.
  • the productivity of this dermatome is usually expressed as-the area of skin transplant cut away per unit of time.
  • the known dermatome has a relatively short operational life, due to the rapid wearing away of the area of engagement of the eccentric crank with the bifurcated driving member of the knife.
  • the wearing away of the eccentric crank results in greater noise and makes the vibration of the housing, as great as it has already been, still greater.
  • simultaneous and symmetrical adjustment of the transplant width limiting means relative to the center of the spindle makes it impossible to cut a skin transplant from donor skin areas having an obstructed access.
  • dermatomes are also known in the prior art which also have a reciprocable knife.
  • This dermatome has a bail-shaped housing incorporating guiding pins.
  • a knife is reciprocable along the pins, the knife being op- The latter is journaled in bearings within of the handle.
  • the connecting rod transforms the rotation of the drive shaft into reciprocation of the knife.
  • This dermatome also has means for adjusting the thickness of the transplant being cut away and means for limiting the thickness of the transplant.
  • the transplant thickness adjusting means is in the form of a movable member adapted to vary the size of the gap above the knife relative to the transplant being cut away.
  • the skin transplant width limiting means are mounted on the guiding pins mounted in front of the knife, and in the front portion of the housing.
  • a spindle Mounted between the guiding pins is a spindle having two portions with threads of opposite spiral, the two portions meeting at the center of the spindle.
  • Each one of the two transplant width limiting means is internally threaded and is movable along the one of the two respective threaded portions of the spindle.
  • One end from the spindle projects exteriorly of the housing where it has mounted thereon a handle by means of which the two skin transplant width limiting means can be displaced.
  • Another known dermatome has a housing with a solid body having guiding grooves cut therein along which there is a reciprocated knife operatively connected to the eccentric crank associated with the drive shaft.
  • the knife has a relatively small profile plate to which an especially designed blade is soldered.
  • the dermatome also has means for adjusting the thickness of the skin transplant being cut away, and a pair of means limiting the width of the transplant.
  • the means limiting the width of the skin transplant being cutaway are in the form of two bent plates fixed to the bottom part of the housing, relative to the skin transplant being cut away.
  • a dermatome having a reciprocable knife, comprising a housing with guides along which the knife can be reciprocated, the knife being operatively connected through a connecting rod with an eccentric crank associated with a drive shaft extending through a handle, the dermatome further having means for adjusting the thickness of the skin tranplant being cut away and means limiting the width of the skin transplant being cut away, in which dermatome, in accordance with the invention, there is provided a counterweight movable along the guides in a direction opposite to that of the motion of the knife.
  • the counterweight should be disposed downward from the knife, relative to the surface from which the skin transplant is being cut away.
  • the counterweight With the counterweight thus arranged, it can be easily received within the overall dimensions of the knife, whereby it can be reciprocated along the same guides that are used for reciprocation of the knife itself. In this way the structure of the dermatome is simplified. Besides, the arrangement of the counterweight under the knife simplifies the task of the plastic surgeon during surgery, because the transplant that has been cut away freely leaves the exit gap and can be easily taken by the surgeon.
  • the eccentric crank associated with the drive shaft is in the form of a crankshaft with two crankpins arranged in diametn'cal opposition to each other, relative to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft, one of the two crankpins being operatively connected to the knife and the other one being operatively connected to the counterweight.
  • the counterweight be in the form of a plate having a mass equal to the mass of the knife.
  • the counterweight being in the form of a plate, it can be arranged under the knife, relative to the skin transplant being cut away, and can be received within the overall dimensions of the knife.
  • a dermatome having a reciprocable knife, constructed in accordance with the invention housing vibrations are completely eliminated, whereby the dermatome operates noiselessly, the conditions for cutting away a skin transplant are improved, as with as the quality of the transplant itself; the dermatome glides smoothly over the donor skin area (i.e. the area from which the transplant is being cut away); the thickness of the transplant is adjustable from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm, and the width thereof can be great as I00 mm, e.g. in cases of large burns.
  • the productivity of the dermatome during a transplant cutting operation has been increased from two to 2.5 times, as compared with the hitherto known dermatomes.
  • the dermatome is simple and reliable in operation.
  • the knife of the dermatome may employ elongated blades such as the type used in safety razors.
  • the dermatome may be operated from alternatingcurrent supply it may be powered by an electric motor rated at 220 Volts, the shaft of the motor making 2,700 revolutions per minute and the knife making, 5,400 strokes per minute.

  • a retaining screw 12 (FIG.2) is provided on the backing plate 6 to clamp the blade 9 (FIG.3) between the backing plate 6 and the retaining plate 11.
  • the blade 9 is preferably in the form of three unsevered safety razor blades. Downward from the knife 5, relative to the surface from which a transplant is to be cut, there is provided a counterweight l3 (FIG.4). The latter is adapted to travel along the same guides 4 (FIGS) in a direction opposite to that of the motion of the knife 5.
  • the counterweight 13 is in the form of a panel the mass of which is equal to that of the knife 5. With the counterweight 13 being positioned downwardly of the knife 5, the skin transplant being cut away is free to leave the dermatome, which facilitates the performance of plastic surgery.
