MIS Penfield Dissector – pull 10 5/8″ #2 2mm Curved Up Panther

MIS Penfield Dissector – Pull, 10 5/8″, #2, 2 mm, Curved Up, Panther is a precision microsurgical instrument commonly used by spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and minimally invasive surgery specialists during spinal decompression and other minimally invasive procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed for atraumatic tissue dissection, nerve root mobilization, and controlled separation of anatomical planes within narrow surgical corridors. Its No. 2 Penfield-style working tip features a 2 mm profile that enables delicate manipulation of neural structures while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Featuring a curved-up working end, the dissector enhances access and visualization within deep operative fields while facilitating precise instrument positioning around critical anatomical structures. The upward curvature is particularly beneficial for tissue elevation and controlled dissection within confined surgical corridors.

The pull-style configuration is optimized for controlled tissue retraction and dissection during minimally invasive procedures, allowing surgeons to perform precise maneuvers through tubular retractors and limited-access approaches.

The Panther handle design provides enhanced ergonomics, ensuring a secure grip and superior tactile feedback throughout prolonged procedures. With an overall length of 10 5/8 inches (approximately 27 cm), the instrument offers extended reach for use in deep operative sites.

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

Widely used in hospitals, spine centers, and teaching institutions, this instrument is an essential component of minimally invasive spine surgery instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the MIS Penfield Dissector – Pull, 10 5/8″, #2, 2 mm, Curved Up, Panther is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance.

Common Clinical Applications Include:

• Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
• Lumbar Decompression Procedures
• Cervical Spine Surgery
• Microdiscectomy
• Laminectomy
• Foraminotomy
• Nerve Root Mobilization
• Epidural Tissue Dissection
• Neural Structure Retraction
• Educational and Training Applications
