head in the control unit nest and push to engage the latches.
16. Place 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film onto the harvester grid. Center the film starting from the middle then fan
out to the edges to ensure complete coverage of the protruding microdomes.
17. Use fingers to firmly press the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film against microdomes. Apply firm pressure to
ensure that the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film adheres to the microdomes.
18. Harvest the microdomes by raising the blue harvester handle fully (until an audible click is heard) and
then lowering the handle to the original position.
19. Carefully peel back the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film from one end of the harvester. Use care to ensure that
the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film does not get folded, torn or otherwise damaged when removing it from
the harvester. The 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film with attached micrografts is now ready for application and
should be applied within two minutes of procurement.
20. Apply the 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film with micrografts to the recipient site.
21. Apply additional pressure dressings / bandages as appropriate for the recipient site per your current
standard of care.
22. Remove the harvester from the patient's donor site.
23. Apply a second 3M™ Tegaderm™ Film or other treatment / dressing to the donor site per your current
