dermatome
A dermatome is a specific area of the skin that is supplied by a single spinal nerve. It is used to map the general region of the body where sensations like pain, touch, temperature, and vibration are perceived. Dermatomes are essential in determining the area affected by nerve damage or irritation in neurological and clinical diagnosis.

Dermatome
A dermatome is a surgical instrument used to produce thin slices of skin from a donor area, in order to use them for making skin grafts. One of its main applications is for reconstituting skin areas damaged by grade 3 burns or trauma. Dermatomes can be operated either manually or electrically. The first drum dermatomes, developed in the 1930s, were manually operated. Afterwards, dermatomes which were operated by air pressure, such as the Brown dermatome, achieved higher speed and precision. Electrical dermatomes are better for cutting out thinner and longer strips of skin with a more homogeneous thickness.
