Watson Dermatome

The Watson dermatome, supplied under catalogue number BA719R, is a hand-held skin grafting knife in the Aesculap Skin Grafting Knives category (German: Handdermatome). Instruments in this category are used in skin grafting procedures to harvest grafts of skin. This instrument carries the Watson pattern designation, the catalogue identifier used to specify this particular hand dermatome, and is distinguished within the range by that pattern name and its catalogue number.

The instrument is designed as a reusable hand dermatome that accepts a replaceable cutting blade. The catalogue records an overall length of 290.00 mm (11 1/2″). Its blade bar is catalogued as bar fixed, describing the movement of the blade-carrying bar during use. It is catalogued for use with spare blade BA718R, which supplies the replaceable cutting edge.

The Watson name is a 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 Watson designation, together with catalogue number BA719R and registry reference REG-000008, provides an unambiguous identifier for procurement, inventory control and repeat ordering.

This catalogue entry is supplied as a single configuration under catalogue number BA719R; 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 compatible catalogue number BA718R referenced above.

Specific surgical techniques, indications and settings are determined by the operating clinician and are not enumerated in the source catalogue, so none are added here.

For traceability, this record links manufacturer catalogue number BA719R to internal registry reference REG-000008 and to its printed location in the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog (page 609).
