 Overview

Automated, Uniform Process

 

The harvesting procedure is precise and reproducible, raising uniform microdomes.

Effective Harvesting Procedure

 

The CELLUTOME™ System effectively harvests the donor-site epidermis down to the basal layer, including basal keratinocytes and melanocytes.
 
The microdomes harvested contain undamaged tissue for grafting to a recipient site.

A simple process, a single procedure

The dressing is used to secure the epidermal micrografts placed on the recipient site from the donor site. 

Components

  • Control Unit
    • Reusable component of the system
    • Creates and regulates the suction (negative pressure: ‑400 to ‑500mmHg) and warming (37°C to 41°C) required to raise the epidermal microdomes
  • Vacuum Head
    • Reusable component of the system
    • Delivers the negative pressure and warming from the Control Unit to the Harvester
  • Harvester
    • Disposable component of the system which contains the cutting blade
    • Provides the structure for formation of the microdomes
    • After insertion of an ADAPTIC TOUCH™ or 3M™ Tegaderm™ Dressing, microdomes are harvested into micrografts
