Penfield Dissector Style 4 8¾” Single Ended 3mm Blunt Curved | SAG Surgical

Description

Penfield dissectors are specialized surgical instruments designed for dissecting, scraping, and separating soft tissues from bone during delicate surgical procedures . The SAG Surgical Penfield dissector Style 4 (8¾ Inches) features a single-ended design with a slightly curved, 3mm blunt dissector blade, engineered for precise tissue manipulation during neurosurgical, spinal, and orthopedic procedures .

This Penfield dissector Style 4 is a light pattern instrument with a single working end featuring a blunt, slightly curved tip that allows for safe separation of tissue planes . The 8¾-inch (22.2 cm) length of this Penfield dissector provides excellent reach for deep surgical access, particularly in confined operative fields . Its slim profile and blunt tip minimize trauma, allowing surgeons to gently separate and mobilize tissue layers during neurosurgical and spine procedures .

Penfield dissectors were originally developed by Dr. Wilder Penfield and have become a fundamental part of neurosurgical sets due to their versatility and precision . The #4 model of this Penfield dissector is specifically designed for blunt dissection in more confined spaces, offering fine control for delicate procedures . This Penfield dissector is used for blunt tissue dissection, periosteal elevation, and atraumatic manipulation of neural tissues during cranial, spinal, and skull base surgeries .

Penfield dissectors are manufactured to the highest standards using premium surgical-grade stainless steel . This ensures that every Penfield dissector instrument maintains its shape and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. These Penfield dissectors are reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .

Penfield dissectors are used across multiple medical specialties including neurosurgery, spinal surgery, orthopedic surgery, and general surgery . The 8¾-inch size of this Penfield dissector with its 3mm blunt tip makes it particularly well-suited for delicate tissue dissection in deep or confined surgical sites.

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium Penfield dissectors that meet the demanding requirements of modern surgical practice. Every Penfield dissector undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
