Clinical Application
Designed for controlled separation of dura and delicate meningeal tissues, this dissector is used during cranial and spinal procedures where precise blunt dissection is required. It facilitates creation and expansion of subdural and epidural planes, teasing apart adhesions, and working safely around neural structures under microscopic or loupe magnification. Common applications include dural opening, skull-base exposure, microdissection during tumor resection, and refinement of surgical planes adjacent to critical neurovascular anatomy.
Design & Configuration
The slender 15 cm shaft provides length sufficient to reach confined operative corridors while preserving tactile feedback for fingertip manipulation. The fine, atraumatic tip is shaped to separate tissue planes with minimal trauma rather than cutting, helping maintain hemostasis and protect underlying neural tissue. A narrow profile minimizes obstruction in deep fields and improves visibility when used alongside suction and microinstruments.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Dura dissector
- Model: Frazier Hoen pattern
- Length: 15 cm
- Tip: Fine atraumatic dissecting/spatula tip for blunt microdissection
- Typical use: Dural and meningeal plane dissection in neurosurgery, skull-base and spine procedures

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization. The working tip is precision-formed to retain a consistent atraumatic profile through repeated use, and the overall construction supports routine hospital reprocessing and autoclave sterilization.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
