The invention relates to surgical cutting instruments and can be used in all fields of surgery for treating tissues of all kinds, and also for skin grafting.Solvable invention the problem is to provide a lightweight construction of the cutting device with improved control and interaction with the working portions cut tissue, reduced vibrations, improved cutting quality and reduced cost. The solution of this object is achieved in that the dermatome, comprising a drive, a knife 0.01-1.0 mm thick with a device attaching it to the drive device and the spatial orientation, wherein, the blade mounting device to the actuator is designed as a quick-nozzle cap comprising nut coupling half, a spindle with a flange, a knife mounted to the flange nut, the nut and flange diameters commensurate and smaller blade diameter by 5-20%, according to the utility model, an opening in the nozzle which is screwed into the lock screw with the rigid locking of and fixing the second clearance dimension defining a thickness removes flap, wherein a gap is formed not variable and a size such that the thickness of the flap is in the range 0,06-1,5 mm.Further, sharpening the knife angle is 5 ° -10 °, preferably 8, and spatial orientation device is disposed at an angle of 5 ° -10 °, preferably 8 ° to the plane of the knife, wherein all or most of the nozzle parts and / or the actuator is made of titanium alloy and the knife is made of work-hardened metal strip, for example an alloy 36NHTYU H-type or cold-worked alloy sheet type 52NKHBMYU in disposable design.1 NZPF, 1 fig.Изобретение относится к хирургическим режущим инструментам и может использоваться во всех областях хирургии для обработки тканей всех видов, а также для пересадки кожи.Решаемая предлагаемым изобретением задача заключается в создании режущего устройства облегченной конструкции с улучшенным управлением и взаимодействием рабочих частей с разрезаемыми тканями, пониженными вибрациями, улучшенным качеством резания и сниженной себестоимо
