8 ¾” Teardrop Dissector – Straight Shaft, 90° Angled Tip

8 3/4″ Teardrop Dissector – Straight Shaft, 90° Angled Tip is a precision microsurgical instrument commonly used by neurosurgeons, skull base surgeons, and microsurgical specialists during cranial and spinal procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed for blunt tissue dissection, arachnoid plane separation, and atraumatic manipulation of delicate neurovascular structures. Its teardrop-shaped working tip facilitates gentle tissue elevation and controlled separation of anatomical planes while helping minimize trauma to surrounding nerves, vessels, and soft tissues.

Featuring a precision-crafted teardrop tip and a straight shaft with a 90° angled working end, the dissector enables improved visualization and access around critical anatomical structures within deep and confined operative fields. The right-angle tip configuration allows surgeons to approach difficult-to-reach areas while maintaining precise instrument control.

With an overall length of 8 3/4 inches (approximately 22 cm), the instrument provides extended reach and excellent maneuverability for microsurgical procedures involving deep surgical corridors.

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

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Teardrop 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 8 3/4″ Teardrop Dissector – Straight Shaft, 90° Angled Tip is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance.
