Skin graft blades are specialized surgical instruments designed for harvesting thin layers of skin from donor areas to transplant onto recipient sites. These tools are commonly used in burn treatment, trauma repair, reconstructive surgeries, and chronic wound management. They are crafted to work with skin grafting devices such as dermatome systems and come in various widths and configurations to ensure precise, controlled removal of the epidermal and dermal layers. By facilitating the preparation of consistent and viable grafts, skin graft blades significantly contribute to improved healing outcomes and minimize surgical complications.
The primary types of skin graft blades include scalpel blades, microsurgery blades, disposable blades, and reusable blades. Scalpel blades are compact, sharp instruments intended for precise cuts and tissue dissection during surgeries. These blades are manufactured from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, plastic, and coated substances. They reach customers through multiple distribution channels such as direct sales, online platforms, medical supply distributors, and pharmacies. Their applications span burn care, plastic surgery, orthopedic procedures, and wound management, with key users including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dermatology clinics, and home healthcare services.

This skin graft blades market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The skin graft blades market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.21 billion in 2024 to $9.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The expansion observed during the historical period is largely due to heightened awareness of advanced wound care solutions, greater adoption of skin grafting procedures, increased healthcare spending, a rise in the number of skilled surgeons, and the growing incidence of diabetes.
The skin graft blades market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. This growth projection is driven by the rising frequency of burn injuries, an increasing volume of trauma cases, a higher prevalence of chronic wounds, escalating demand for reconstructive surgeries, and the expanding elderly population. Key trends anticipated during the forecast period include innovations in blade design technology, the creation of ergonomically improved grafting handles, integration with powered dermatome systems, advancements in blade materials, and the emergence of disposable graft blades.
The rising number of burn injuries is expected to drive the growth of the skin graft blades market in the coming years. Burn injuries are physical damages to the skin and underlying tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. The increase in burn injuries is linked to more kitchen accidents, as many people cook at home without adequate safety measures. Skin graft blades are essential in treating burn injuries by harvesting healthy skin from a donor site to cover and heal severely damaged or lost skin. For example, in October 2024, the Children's Burns Trust issued an urgent warning following a 55% increase in hot water bottle burns among children in early 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, according to the International Burn Injury Database (iBID), a UK-based database tracking severe burn injuries requiring specialized care. Hence, the growing incidence of burn injuries is fueling demand for skin graft blades.
Leading companies in the skin graft blades market are emphasizing the development of semi-automated skin harvesting technologies, such as handheld devices with micro-needle arrays, to improve their market standing. These innovations allow for the efficient collection of multiple small grafts with minimal tissue damage, increasing precision, reducing donor site complications, and broadening their applicability across various clinical settings. For instance, in March 2024, Medline Industries, a U.S. medical device manufacturer, received FDA approval to market its Medline Autologous Regeneration of Tissue (ART) Skin Harvesting System. This system uses a micro-needle array to harvest numerous skin micrografts, enabling minimally invasive procedures under local anesthesia and making it suitable for a wider range of clinical environments compared to traditional grafting methods.
In April 2025, Microsurgical Technology (MST) Inc., a U.S.-based medical device company, partnered with MANI Inc. to increase access to MANI's ophthalmic surgical blades in the U.S. and enhance MST's custom kit offerings for better surgical care. MANI Inc., headquartered in Japan, manufactures high-precision skin graft blades used in reconstructive surgeries.
