Dissectors

Dissectors separate tissue planes. Some are blunt, used to push structures apart along natural planes; others have a fine edge or a hooked end for the delicate separation of dura, nerve or vessel. The right dissector is the one that matches the plane you are working in.

This collection covers neurosurgical, ENT, general and laparoscopic dissectors. Order single instruments or send your list for a quote.

What This Collection Covers

  • Penfield dissectors No. 1 to 5 — the standard neurosurgical set, each with a different blade angle and shape
  • Dura dissectors — Hoen, Horsley, Olivecrona, Sachs, Toennis and Milligan
  • Micro dissectors — Rhoton patterns for microneurosurgery
  • Tonsil dissectors — for tonsillectomy
  • Breast dissectors — long blunt dissectors for pocket creation
  • Laparoscopic dissectors — Maryland and Mixter patterns with monopolar connection

Blunt or Sharp?

Blunt dissectors follow the natural plane and are safer near vessels and nerves. Sharper or thinner blades (such as Penfield No. 4) are for adherent tissue where a blunt instrument will not find the plane.

How to Choose

Penfields. No. 1 and 2 are the most used; No. 3 is often used for dural separation, and No. 4 for fine dissection. Many teams stock the full set.

Laparoscopic. Maryland jaws are curved and fine for dissection around vessels; Mixter jaws are right-angled for passing behind structures.
