- Designed to provide precision control when using ultra-fine microsurgical blades, it is primarily used in delicate surgical procedures for high-accuracy work
Uses
- Microsurgery:
- Essential for intricate operations such as nerve repair, ophthalmic surgery, and microvascular procedures
- Minimally Invasive Procedures:
- Used to make minute, controlled incisions that reduce patient recovery time and scarring
- Specialized Disciplines:
- Utilized in dental periodontics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, arthroscopy, and endoscopy
- Tissue Manipulation:
- Provides the stability required to hold and control fine microblades during complex dissections
Features
- Material:
- Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, making it fully autoclavable and resistant to corrosion
- Dimensions:
- Features a 4.5-inch (115mm) overall body length
- Ergonomic Design:
- Includes a round body with serrated thumbs (knurling) to provide superior grip and control even when wearing gloves
- Universal Compatibility:
- Precision-made to fit all SHARD microsurgical blades, including sizes 61, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 90, and 91
- Self-Locking Mechanism:
- Often features a secure chuck to lock micro-blades firmly in place, preventing wobbling during use
Benefits
- Enhanced Precision:
- The slim, lightweight design acts as an extension of the surgeon's hand, allowing for more deliberate and accurate cuts compared to standard handles
- Superior Control:
- The serrated grip prevents rotation during procedures, which is critical when working under a microscope or in tight anatomical spaces
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- As a reusable, sterilizable instrument, it offers a long-term solution when paired with disposable, single-use microblades
- Hygienic Reliability:
- Being fully autoclavable ensures it can be repeatedly sterilized according to standard hospital protocols
