Humby Skin Graft Knife – high quality medical grade stainless steel – Adjustable Roller

Humby Skin Grafting Knife: Precision Engineering for Split-Thickness Grafts

The Humby Skin Grafting Knife is a highly specialized dermatome engineered to provide consistent, hands-on control during the harvesting of skin grafts. Widely utilized in reconstructive surgery, this high quality instrument features an adjustable grooved roller bar that ensures the blade remains at a fixed depth throughout the incisions. At Adas Instruments, our manufacturing process guarantees that the oscillating mechanism operates with perfect fluidity, providing the Humby dermatome with the reliability needed for complex skin transplants. This tool is vital for achieving uniform grafting results across large donor areas.

Technical Engineering and Material Excellence

Forged from premium grade high quality medical grade stainless steel, our Humby skin graft knife undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum longevity. This instrument features a 32cm frame and a maximum cutting width of 155mm, allowing for efficient harvesting. Every Humby knife is boil tested and ultrasonic cleaned to guarantee clinical sterility and surgical performance. The high quality finish and ergonomic handle reduce glare and hand fatigue, satisfying a critical requirement for advanced plastic surgery and dermatological work.

Surgical Application

• Wound Care: Harvesting skin to treat burns and large tissue loss.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Facilitating split-thickness grafts with precise oscillating control.
• Plastic Surgery: Serving as a reliable skin graft knife for aesthetic transplants.

Care and Maintenance Section

To preserve the reliability of this high quality surgical tool, it is essential to keep the adjustable roller and thumb screws free from debris. We recommend lubricating the oscillating parts with medical-grade lubricant after every sterilization cycle. Adas Instruments proudly ships USA, Europe & worldwide with fast shipping options via DHL/FedEx, ensuring that premium grafting tools are available to surgical teams everywhere.

People Also Ask

What is a Humby knife used for? It harvests large split-thickness skin grafts by hand, with an adjustable roller controlling graft depth across its wide blade — standard equipment in burns and reconstructive units.
What is the difference between a Humby knife and a Watson knife? Both are hand-held skin graft knives with adjustable depth rollers. The Humby uses a longer blade and roller (about 155 mm cutting width) for harvesting large grafts, while the Watson is slightly shorter and often preferred for smaller donor sites. Both accept standard interchangeable single-use dermatome blades. What is the cut thickness range of the Humby Knife?
The Humby Knife provides an adjustable cut thickness range from 0.1mm to 1.2mm, with a maximum cut width of 155mm, making it ideal for large-surface harvesting.

How does the oscillating roller bar help during surgery?
The grooved roller bar rotates and oscillates side-to-side, which helps provide better visibility of the graft and ensures a smoother cutting action while reducing tissue trauma.

Is the Humby Skin Grafting Knife reusable?
Yes, it is manufactured from high quality steel and is fully autoclavable and reusable, designed to withstand frequent sterilization cycles.
