6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – medium cve

6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – Medium Curve 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 precision-crafted medium-curved dissecting tip enables controlled elevation and mobilization of the intima while minimizing trauma to surrounding vascular structures.

Featuring a medium-curve working end and a slender shaft, the dissector provides improved access and visibility when working around vessel contours and within confined operative fields. The curved configuration assists surgeons in establishing and maintaining the correct dissection plane between the intima and underlying arterial layers.

With an overall length of 6 1/2 inches (approximately 16.5 cm), the instrument offers excellent balance, maneuverability, and tactile control during intricate vascular procedures.

The ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip and superior tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to perform delicate vascular dissections with confidence and precision.

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 – Medium Curve 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
