Frequently asked questions
Is this punch crafted from high-quality stainless steel?
Yes, this instrument is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring it is built for long-term use and repeated sterilization cycles.
How does the handle design improve control during procedures?
The instrument features a solid knurled handle. This cross-hatched texture is specifically engineered to provide maximum tactile friction, ensuring you have a secure and firm grip for precise control over the excision depth.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. The Sklar Keyes Cutaneous Punch is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for practitioners and patients who need to avoid latex contact.
What is the primary advantage of the CensiTrac marking?
The CensiTrac marking indicates that this instrument is part of a specialized line designed for enhanced traceability and quality control within medical facility instrument management systems.
Can this punch be reused after sterilization?

Is this instrument compliant with trade regulations?
Yes, this product is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets the regulatory standards required for governmental and institutional procurement.
How should I handle the sharp tip during use?
The instrument is engineered with a sharp, round working edge. To achieve a clean tissue plug, you should push the tip into the skin and apply a slight, controlled twist. The 4-inch length provides excellent leverage for this maneuver.
Does this tool come ready for immediate surgical use?

Is the construction suitable for professional gynecological or dermatological settings?
Yes, it is specifically designed for dermatological and gynecological biopsies. Its precision-engineered 6mm diameter allows for reliable tissue sampling needed for pathological examination.
Are there other sizes available in this product line?
While this specific listing is for the 6mm diameter model, the Sklar Keyes line offers additional diameter options up to 8mm to suit different biopsy requirements.
