ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to an improved dermatome hand held and operated apparatus in which an adhesive strip of material having a given width and length and of selected thickness is used with a razor blade type of cutter. The strip, as used with the dermatome apparatus, is much like that disclosed in applicant's U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,278 as issued July 4, 1978. The apparatus is like that shown in the referenced patent but includes a laminated portion that is selectively removed to provide a given thickness of strip and to thus provide a thickness of skin that is in an inverse ratio to thickness of strip. The thickness of strip may be as little as ten thousandths of an inch and as much as twenty thousandths of an inch. The laminates are contemplated to be in increments of two thousandths each.
