Schink Dermatome Plate

The Schink dermatome plate, supplied under catalogue number BA709R, is the plate component of the Schink-pattern hand dermatome in the Aesculap Skin Grafting Knives category (German: Handdermatome; the German catalogue term for this component is Platte). Dermatomes in this category are hand-held instruments used in skin grafting procedures to harvest grafts of skin. This catalogue number is catalogued for use with dermatome BA706R and carries the Schink pattern designation that links it to that instrument system.

On page 607 the catalogue groups three Schink items — the dermatome (BA706R), the dermatome spare blade (BA708R) and the plate. This catalogue number, BA709R, is the plate of that group: it is the broader plate component illustrated for the Schink dermatome, distinct from the thin cutting blade catalogued separately under BA708R. The catalogue records the plate as a component used with the dermatome; it does not describe a separate function for the plate beyond its membership in the Schink dermatome system, so none is added here.

The source catalogue does not state a length, package quantity or material for this catalogue number, so none is listed here; each is omitted rather than estimated.

The Schink name is a pattern designation rather than a description of separately catalogued dimensions. In surgical instrument catalogues, a pattern or eponym identifies a recognised instrument configuration and allows a specific design to be requested and reordered consistently. Within this platform the Schink designation, together with catalogue number BA709R and registry reference REG-000005, provides an unambiguous identifier for procurement, inventory control and repeat ordering.

This catalogue entry is supplied as a single configuration under catalogue number BA709R; it is not a variable product and is not offered here in multiple selectable variants. Related items are catalogued separately under their own catalogue numbers, including the Schink dermatome BA706R and the Schink dermatome spare blade BA708R.

Technical specifications recorded for this catalogue number are as follows. Pattern designation: Schink; Instrument type: Dermatome plate; Category: Skin Grafting Knives (Handdermatome); Subcategory: Dermatome Plate; Catalogued for use with: BA706R; Catalogue number: BA709R; Registry reference: REG-000005; Source: Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 607. Fields that are not stated in the source catalogue — such as material composition, dimensions and package quantity — are intentionally omitted rather than estimated.

In terms of application, the plate is a component of the Schink hand dermatome (BA706R) used within skin grafting procedures. It is part of that instrument system rather than a standalone instrument, and the source catalogue does not enumerate a separate clinical function for it.

Aesculap products on this platform are supplied through a B2B inquiry process. Pricing is not published; hospitals, surgical centres, distributors and procurement teams can request a quote or send an inquiry to confirm current availability, packaging and delivery for this catalogue number. For this item, quote and inquiry requests should reference catalogue number BA709R and, where relevant, the Schink dermatome BA706R.

All information above is drawn from the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog and is presented for identification and procurement purposes; it does not add specifications, materials or clinical claims beyond those printed in the source, other than identifying this catalogue number as the plate of the Schink dermatome group based on the catalogue’s own figures and type listing on page 607.
