Here is another slivering video thats a little longer that I put together for the ISHRS conference and their Surgical Assistant's program in Amsterdam this year. We have number of technicians who can sliver and they all like to use a different type of blade. You can see besides the Mantis microscope, we have a Zeiss microscope with a monitor attached. The monitor gave very good clear pictures. A special thanks to Shelli at our clinic who I taped slivering - putting her "on the spot". As you can observe, she did not make any transections.
An important aspect of dissecting grafts. When a strip is harvested, you must first sliver down the strip to very thin slices to get at the individual grafts.
