The invention relates to a device for reusing a strip of residue skin after drilling out grafts for the formation of additional grafts. The device comprises a support beam for supporting the strip of skin, equipped with elevated and recessed portions which are adapted to the shape of the strip of skin and in such a manner that two successive elevated or recessed portions define an area in the strip of skin which has to be cut up to form a graft. The invention also comprises a method wherein the strip of skin is placed on the support bar, a graft is excised by means of a cutting tool and it is transferred from the support bar to a magazine. The support bar, the magazine and the cutting tool are then moved relative to one another, thus making a new area of the strip of skin accessible to the cutting tool and a new receptacle in the magazine is provided in alignment with the said area. |
