Humeca Mesher and V-carriers

14
Warning:
Do not place the blades axis on some hard surface, as this might
seriously damage the blades!
- Put the mesher (bridge opened) in the sterilization container.
- All parts can be sterilized with saturated steam at the common
temperature of 134 o C (273 o F), usually for 5-10 minutes, or at 121 o C
(250 o F) for prolonged exposure time of approx. 20 minutes.
II-4. Lubrication
For long service life of the instrument, it is recommended to put some
drops of surgical oil into the two holes (10) on the top of the bridge (next to
the grip) after washing and before sterilization. Humeca supplies
STERILIT ® oil for that purpose.
II-5. First use
II-5.1. Check carrier adjustment
The mesher is suitable for different kinds of skin graft carriers.
It was adjusted by Humeca on request to fit V10- or V15-carriers.
If the instrument was adjusted for Humeca V10 carriers, it is also
compatible with Zimmer ® carriers.
If it was adjusted to Humeca V15 carriers it is also compatible with
Aesculap ® / B.Braun ® carriers.
To check the adjustment of the mesher, please proceed as follows:
- Put the mesher on a table with the backside towards you, put your hand
under the transport axis and lift it a little, as shown in fig. 11.
- If you can lift the axis a little (only about 0.5 mm or 0.02”) and so the
axis has some play, the mesher is adjusted to Humeca ® V-15 and
Aesculap ® / B.Braun ® carriers.
- If there’s no vertical movement in the axis, the mesher is adjusted to
Humeca ® V-10 and Zimmer ® carriers.
