INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Zimmer® Electric Dermatome is a skin grafting instrument that is intended to provide variable graft
thickness and width capabilities.

DESCRIPTION

The Zimmer Electric Dermatome (See Fig. 1) is an electrically-powered surgical skin grafting instrument.
The thickness control adjustment ranges from 0 to 0.030 in. (0.75 mm) in 0.002 in. (0.050 mm)
increments. Individual graft widths of 1 in., 1.5 in., 2 in., 3 in. and 4 in. (2.5 cm, 3.8 cm, 5.1 cm, 7.6 cm,
10.2 cm) are obtained with five width plates. Two stainless steel machine screws secure the plates to the
underside of the instrument. The plates are easily fastened and removed with the screwdriver provided.
The dermatome is powered by an ironless rotor, low inertia motor, which provides nearly vibration-free
power.

Summary of Contents for Zimmer Biomet Electric Dermatome

  • Page 1 Electric Dermatome Instruction Manual INDICATIONS FOR USE The Zimmer® Electric Dermatome is a skin grafting instrument that is intended to provide variable graft thickness and width capabilities. DESCRIPTION The Zimmer Electric Dermatome (See Fig. 1) is an electrically-powered surgical skin grafting instrument.
  • Page 2 V ~ 1.25 A time lag/delay. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS To avoid serious injury to the patient and operating staff while the Zimmer Electric Dermatome is in use, the user must be thoroughly familiar with its function, application, and instructions for use.
  • Page 3 • Before connecting the power supply to a power source, be sure that the switch on the front of the power supply is in the OFF (O) position and that the safety lock on the Zimmer Electric Dermatome is in the SAFE position.
  • Page 4 • It is not necessary to lubricate the skin; however, lubricating the donor site with sterile mineral oil may ease travel of the Zimmer Electric Dermatome. • Set control lever adjustment knob pointer to desired graft thickness. Factory calibrations indicate 0.002 in.
  • Page 5 Return the throttle to the SAFE position. (See Fig. 11.) • Do not run the Zimmer Electric Dermatome without cutting for an extended time. Release the on/off lever and return the safety lock to the SAFE position between cuts to remove the graft.
  • Page 6 STERILIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DERMATOME • Ensure the Zimmer Electric Dermatome has been fully disconnected from the power supply. • Use caution when handling the dermatome to determine that the used blade has been removed. If not, safely dispose of all used blades in accordance with hospital policy for contaminated waste and sharps.
  • Page 7 Steam sterilization is safe and effective, and is the only recommended method for the dermatome. There are no contraindications for sterilizing the Zimmer Electric Dermatome and accessories. Ethylene oxide sterilization is not recommended because reliable outgassing times are difficult to determine for lubricated powered instruments.
  • Page 8 Note: The Sterilizer Manufacturerʼs instructions for operation and load configuration should be followed explicitly. Flash sterilization (10-minute exposure in a gravity displacement sterilizer in an open tray at 270°F [132°C]) is not recommended for the Zimmer Electric Dermatome as this method may not provide sterility throughout the instrument.
