[A device for de-epithelization of the skin for skin scarification tests]
Abstract:
The characteristic feature of the suggested device is the presence of a safety lock limiting a forward motion of the de-epithelializer into the depth of the epidermis; this rules out injuries of small vessels and provides the necessary depth of the epithelium removal. The device is recommended for skin allergic scarification tests and for Rebuck's skin fenestra test.
