6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector

6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector is a precision vascular instrument commonly used by vascular surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, and microsurgical specialists during arterial endarterectomy and vascular reconstruction procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed to facilitate atraumatic separation of the intimal layer from the arterial wall during endarterectomy. Its finely crafted dissecting tip enables controlled elevation and mobilization of the intima while minimizing trauma to surrounding vascular structures.

Featuring a slender shaft and precision-engineered working end, the Lemmon Intima Dissector allows accurate dissection within narrow operative fields and supports meticulous handling of delicate vascular tissues. The instrument is particularly effective for establishing and maintaining the proper dissection plane between the intima and the underlying arterial layers.

With an overall length of 6 1/2 inches (approximately 16.5 cm), the dissector provides optimal balance, maneuverability, and control during intricate vascular procedures.

The ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip and excellent tactile sensitivity, allowing surgeons to perform precise dissections with confidence.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Lemmon Intima Dissector offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operating room lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance.

Widely used in hospitals, cardiovascular centers, and teaching institutions, this instrument is an essential component of vascular surgery instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Carotid Endarterectomy
• Peripheral Arterial Endarterectomy
• Vascular Reconstruction Procedures
• Arterial Plaque Removal
• Intimal Layer Separation
• Peripheral Vascular Surgery
• Cardiovascular Procedures
• Microsurgical Vascular Dissection
• Arterial Repair Procedures
• Educational and Training Applications
