Description

The Long Penfield Dural Dissector No. 5 is designed for delicate tissue dissection, dural elevation, and tissue manipulation during spinal and cranial procedures where extra reach is needed. Its extended length makes it useful when the working area is deeper and a standard-length instrument may be difficult to position.

The instrument has double-ended working tips with fine, carefully shaped profiles for lifting and separating delicate tissue. The atraumatic ends can be used when working around the dura, neural structures, and other sensitive anatomy, while also giving the user good control when developing a surgical plane.

At 29 cm (11½”) long, the instrument provides considerably more reach than a standard-length dissector. This can be particularly useful during deeper spinal and cranial exposures, where the additional length allows the working end to reach the surgical site without requiring an awkward hand position.

The balanced design keeps the longer instrument manageable in the hand. Having two working ends also gives the user some flexibility during the procedure, as the instrument can be turned around when a different working surface or angle is needed.

It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and goes through quality control inspection before it is supplied. The instrument is checked for its overall finish and condition, while both working ends are inspected to make sure they are properly finished and secure. These checks help ensure that the instrument is in good working condition before use. The stainless-steel construction also makes it suitable for regular cleaning and maintenance as a reusable surgical instrument.

With its double-ended working tips, extended 29 cm length, and balanced design, the Long Penfield Dural Dissector No. 5 provides a practical option when additional reach is needed for delicate tissue handling. Its longer profile makes it particularly suitable for deeper spinal and neurosurgical operative fields.
