Description

The Penfield Dural Dissector No. 1 is designed for delicate tissue dissection, dural elevation, and manipulation of neural structures during spinal and cranial procedures. Its small working end makes it suitable for areas where careful handling and precise movements are needed around sensitive neurological structures.

The instrument has a small spoon-shaped tip that can be used to gently lift, separate, and retract delicate tissue. Its fine shape gives the user good control when working around the dura and other neural structures. The opposite end has a smooth spatulated blade, giving the instrument another working surface for dissection and tissue handling.

The two ends make the instrument practical during procedures where different working surfaces may be needed. Instead of changing to another instrument for every small task, the user can simply turn it around and use the other end. This is particularly useful when working in a confined surgical field.

The lightweight and double-ended design keeps the instrument balanced in the hand and allows precise movements. At 17.5 cm (7″) long, it has a compact size that is easy to maneuver in smaller operative areas while still providing enough length for comfortable handling.

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 spoon-shaped tip, smooth spatulated opposite end, double-ended design, and 17.5 cm length, the Penfield Dural Dissector No. 1 provides a practical option for delicate tissue handling during neurosurgical and spinal procedures. Its compact design makes it particularly useful when working in confined operative fields.
