ABSTRACT:
An electrode for use in an electrosurgical skin grafting procedure. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode is uniquely configured to form a U-support terminating in an active wire, generally U-shaped, whose width controls the width of the graft, and the length of whose arms controls the thickness of the graft. The active wire is supported by structure that is completely electrically-insulated to ensure excision only of the desired tissue while avoiding damage to surrounding tissue. The tissue incising is effected with the bare active wire at a depth stopped by a shoulder between the bare wire arms and the adjacent portions of the electrode support.
