SOBER Dermatome and Blades

In co-operation with the Dutch surgeon Dr. Willem Nugteren, Humeca developed a dermatome for freehanded harvesting of a 30 mm (1¼ in.) wide split skin graft with a pre-determined thickness of about 0.25 mm (0.001 in.). This one-of-a-kind product is called the Sober dermatome. The shape of the Sober dermatome was derived from a safety razor. Humeca supplies special low-cost blades that are to be used with this dermatome.
