7 1/8″ Ochsner Dissector – D/E 3mm & 4mm

7 1/8″ Ochsner Dissector – Double-Ended, 3 mm & 4 mm is a precision surgical instrument commonly used by general surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, and microsurgical specialists during a wide range of open and microsurgical procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed for blunt tissue dissection, separation of anatomical planes, and atraumatic manipulation of delicate tissues. Its double-ended configuration incorporates two different tip sizes, allowing surgeons to perform multiple dissection techniques without changing instruments.

Featuring precision-crafted 3 mm and 4 mm working tips, the dissector facilitates controlled tissue elevation and accurate separation of tissue layers while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures. The smaller 3 mm tip provides enhanced precision for delicate dissection, while the 4 mm tip offers a broader surface for efficient tissue mobilization.

With an overall length of 7 1/8 inches (approximately 18.1 cm), the instrument provides excellent balance, maneuverability, and tactile control for use in both superficial and moderately deep operative fields.

The ergonomic handle design ensures a secure grip and superior tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to maintain precise control throughout intricate procedures.

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

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

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 7 1/8″ Ochsner Dissector – Double-Ended, 3 mm & 4 mm is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance.
