Mark's Dermatome

A Dermatome is a powered, bladed device that is used to harvest a skin graft. The upper photo shows Diana loading a blade onto it.

Mark harvested some skin from one of the patient's legs. It will be transferred to his face to cover the part of the pec flap that would otherwise be exposed. Let's suffice it to say that surgery is amazing, but brutal-looking to someone like me.

Props go to Mark for getting the Dermatome. Taha thought one would be useful and needed here since plastic surgeons use such things. Mark found this used one for sale on eBay and bought it and donated it.
