Humeca designed two cordless, battery-operated dermatomes. A small one - the D42, and a larger one - the D80 developed for more general use.. The D42, a very maneuverable instrument, is an excellent tool in pediatric and general plastic surgery, especially for harvesting grafts from curved surfaces. Safe and quick blade replacement and powerful Li-Ion batteries with no memory effect allow long-time cutting without intermediate charging.

The Humeca mesher is provided with a unique spring mechanism that prevents the blades from excessive pressure on the carrier during cutting, thus increasing the lifetime of the blades. The mesher can be adjusted in two positions: one to fit V10- or Zimmer® carriers and one to fit V15- or Aesculap® / B.Braun® carriers. During cutting, the carrier is guided both at the left and the right side to ensure straight movement and exact connection of the grooves of a second carrier if applied.

Humeca supplies a range of high-quality blades for different types of dermatomes. Humeca also supplies blades that are compatible with:

• Aesculap® / B.Braun® cordless dermatomes

• Padgett® dermatomes type B,C and S

• Zimmer® dermatomes type 8801 (air) and 8821 (electric)

Our unique MEEK technique is reported to be superior to other grafting methods. Imperfections of the original method were overcome and the prefolded gauzes are now manufactured with expansion ratios 1:3, 1:4, 1:6 and 1:9. The clinical results are excellent, even in problematic zones and in case of inferior wound beds. The method appears to be a simple technique to achieve a regular distribution of postage stamp grafts, correctly orientated to the surface of the wound.
