Abstract

See full text

A customized dermatome skin graft transplantation system is provided and configured to photograph a trauma wound using a photo-optical digital imaging device to digitize an image, to determine a spatial coordinate pattern from the digital photographic image representing an ideal skin graft shape customized to the photographed trauma wound, and to operate a computer-controlled three-dimensional printer to manufacture a dermatome customized to the spatial coordinate pattern for placement on donor skin or a polymeric material to act as a guide for the cutting of a graft flap. The skin graft flaps are customized to the shape of the trauma wound to increase the resultant perimeter-to-area ratio of the surgically applied graft, with associated healing and aesthetic benefits. Computer-assisted embodiments of the present invention can incorporate image processing and/or artificial intelligence elements.
