Primary

MeasureTime frame
The novel ambidextrous skin graft handle is easier to harvest a split skin graft compared to the Modified Humby Knife while maintaining equal graft thickness Timepoint: Baseline at the time of Surgery while harvesting graft

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
cost-effective when compared to automated dermatomes, making it a more budget-friendly option for medical professionals. Timepoint: At baseline;provides uniform thickness to split skin grafts with precise & uniform edges, ensuring a consistent & high-quality result in skin graft procedures.Timepoint: Baseline, at the time of surgery
