Amalgatome MD - X100556 - Skin Recovery Device *For Cadaveric Use Only*

The Amalgatome® MD is a Skin Recovery Device

Designed with tissue banks in mind, the unique rotary design with edge retention technology allows you to maneuver over body contours and hard-to-reach areas that are challenging for standard methods.

Easy to use, it provides uniform, consistent allograft skin grafts resulting in higher yields,* increased productivity, and improved efficiencies.

The Amalgatome MD also provides excellent results for splitting full thickness skin in both epidermal and dermal layers.  Multiple dermal layers can be achieved depending on the target thickness.

Amalgatome MD

Innovative Rotary Design

  • Glides over the donor epidermis and dermis with 180° of dissection range
  • Greater maneuverability means you can:
    • Easily handle challenging body contours and boney prominences
    • Recover additional tissue beyond common sites
  • Provides visibility to allograft skin graft procurement for instant excision depth adjustment

Easy to Use

  • Intuitive operation for new and seasoned technicians
  • Provides dependable allograft skin graft recoveries
  • Eliminates pushing awkwardly against the skin
  • Contoured design provides greater maneuverability through difficult-to-reach angles

Advanced Ergonomics

  • Rotary blade design means comfort with minimal fatigue
  • Requires less force than standard dermatomes

Depth Control

The Amalgatome MD adjusts easily in increments of .001" and finer to produce skin grafts up to .040". This makes it ideal for allograft skin recoveries in tissue banks.

Depth Plate:

  • Maintains excision depth
  • Minimizes gouging

Depth Gauge:

  • Smooth operation for easy adjustments
  • English and metric settings
  • Etched for easy measurement view
