Handle Trephine

Description

Handle Trephine

The trephine handle holds a trephine blade for cutting round cores of skin or tissue. It gives the fingers a firm grip, so the blade turns smoothly.

Size of the trephine handle

The handle measures 8 cm. That fits comfortably between finger and thumb. Meanwhile, it gives enough leverage to rotate the blade.

How it works

The blade attaches to the handle. Then the user presses and twists. As a result, the blade cuts a clean round core.

Typical uses

Dermatology and plastic surgery use trephines for biopsies and graft harvest. For example, they remove small skin samples. They also help in hair restoration.

Technique

Hold the skin taut with the other hand. Then press and rotate the blade gently. Also, stop at the planned depth.

Choosing blades

Trephine blades come in different diameters. Therefore, match the blade to the sample size. Our skin trephine range covers common sizes.

Keeping it ready

Store the handle with its blades in one tray. That keeps sizes together. In addition, check the fit before each case.

Before you buy

Each handle gets a final once-over in Atlanta before it ships. The trephine handle comes with three years against manufacturing defects. Thread and grip both. Some trays also hold the skin trephines.
