- Primarily used in abdominal and gastrointestinal surgeries to safely open or dissect hollow organs
Uses
- Intestinal Dissection:
- Specifically designed for making long, controlled incisions in the intestines without damaging underlying tissue
- Veterinary Surgery:
- Frequently utilized in animal health and veterinary applications for abdominal procedures
- Post-Mortem Examinations:
- Used in forensic or pathological settings for detailed organ dissection
Features
- Hook Blade Tip:
- One of the blades features a distinct hooked or probe tip, which is designed to lift tissue away from deeper structures before cutting to ensure a safe incision
- Instrument Length:
- Measures approximately 8-1/4 inches (21cm), providing the leverage needed for deep surgical access
- Material:
- Forged from high-quality German surgical-grade stainless steel
- Handle:
- Standard finger-ring handle design for controlled grip and maneuverability
Benefits
- Safety:
- The hooked blade acts as a guide, preventing the tips from accidentally puncturing or damaging the opposing wall of the intestine during an enterotomy
- Precision:
