A tool with a sharp razor blade that sheers the donor skin off the body.
The area of skin supplied by afferent nerve fibers by a single posterior spinal root; used in locating injuries to dorsal roots of the spinal cord. Called also dermatomic area. Also refers to an instrument for cutting thin skin slices for skin grafts.
A sensory region monitored by the dorsal rami of a single spinal segment.
Portion of body surface supplied by nerve fibres from a segment of spinal cord. There is an orderly representation of dermatomes in the nervous pathways.
an instrument for incising the skin or cutting thin transplants of skin; the cutaneous area developed from one embryonic spinal cord segment and receiving most of its innervation from one spinal nerve
sensory region innervated by a single spinal segment. (More? Neural Notes | Skin Notes)
a surgical instrument used to cut very thin slices of skin
an area of skin innervated by one spinal cord segment
an area of skin supplied by fibers from a single spinal nerve root
an area of skin that is supplied with it's own nerve fibers
a patch of skin innervated by nerves that unite at a single nerve that connects to the spinal cord
a patch of skin that is innervated by a given spinal cord level
a specific area in the lower extremity innervated by a
Area of skin supplied by one spinal segment.
An area of the skin that is known to be served by a specific nerve.
The area of skin innervated by sensory axons of a single dorsal root.
The area of the skin supplied by the single axons of a single spinal nerve
The area of the skin supplied by the nerve root.
Refers to the distribution of sensory nerves near the skin that are responsible for pain, tingling, and other sensations (or lack of).
A map that shows typical function for various levels of spinal cord injury. May also refer to the area of the skin innervated by the sensory axons with each segmental nerve (root).
Cutaneous receptive field of a spinal dorsal root
A band of skin that receive sensations through a single nerve. Shingles usually affects one or more isolated dermatomes.
A device resembling an electric cheese slicer used to remove skin from donor sites to be grafted on burn areas.
an instrument that resembles an electric razor and has an oscillating blade that moves back and forth to evenly "skim" off the surface layers of skin that surround craters or other facial defects.
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.
