- A specialized surgical instrument used in neurosurgery for dissecting and separating delicate tissues
Uses
- Neurosurgery:
- Primarily used in brain and spinal procedures to manipulate and separate delicate anatomical structures and nerve tissues
- Tissue Dissection:
- Designed for fine dissection tasks where precision is paramount, allowing surgeons to work around critical structures
- Specialized Applications:
- Utilized in other surgical specialties such as ENT or plastic surgery where fine tissue manipulation is necessary
Features
- Double-Ended Design:
- Features two distinct working ends on a single instrument, offering versatility and reducing the need to change tools
- Blade Specifications:
- One end has a 6.86 mm sharp cup tip
- The other end has a 6.22 mm blunt dissector tip
- Length:
- Measures approximately 7 inches (17.8cm) in overall length
- Material:
- Manufactured from high-quality, O.R.-grade German stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion
Benefits
- Precision and Control:
- The fine tips and balanced design provide excellent tactile feedback, enabling surgeons to perform delicate dissections with high accuracy
- Versatility:
- The combination of a sharp end and a blunt end in one instrument allows for different types of tissue manipulation in a single procedure stage, improving surgical flow
- Durability and Quality:
- The premium stainless steel material ensures a long instrument life, even with repeated use and sterilization, which is a hallmark of the Miltex MeisterHand line
- Reduced Trauma:
- The design is intended to separate tissues effectively while minimizing unwanted trauma to surrounding vital structures, which is critical in neurosurgical applications
