9 ½″ Olivecrona Double-Ended Dissector (4 × 5 mm Tips)

9 ½″ Olivecrona Double-Ended Dissector – 4 × 5 mm Tips is a precision microsurgical instrument commonly used by neurosurgeons, skull base surgeons, and microsurgical specialists during cranial, cerebrovascular, and spinal procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed for blunt tissue dissection, arachnoid plane separation, and atraumatic manipulation of delicate neural and vascular structures. Its double-ended configuration enables surgeons to perform multiple dissection techniques without changing instruments, improving procedural efficiency.

Featuring precision-crafted 4 × 5 mm working tips at both ends, the dissector facilitates controlled tissue elevation and accurate separation of anatomical planes while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures. The broad tip profile provides an optimal balance between effective tissue mobilization and precise handling of delicate neurovascular tissues.

With an overall length of 9 ½ inches (approximately 24 cm), the instrument offers extended reach and excellent maneuverability for procedures involving deep surgical corridors and confined operative fields.

The ergonomic handle design ensures a secure grip and superior tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to maintain precise control under magnification throughout complex microsurgical interventions.

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

Widely used in hospitals, neurosurgical centers, and teaching institutions, this instrument is an essential component of microsurgical instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 9 ½″ Olivecrona Double-Ended Dissector – 4 × 5 mm Tips is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance.
