Howarth Dissector and Elevator D/E 22cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for precise soft-tissue dissection and elevation where controlled blunt and sharp manipulation are required. The combination of a fine dissecting tip and a spoon-like elevator makes it suitable for separating tissue planes, elevating periosteum, undermining mucosa, and mobilizing delicate soft tissue in confined surgical fields. Typical applications include procedures in ENT, head & neck surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and other specialties requiring fine manual control and atraumatic elevation.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended dissector/elevator design provides immediate access to two complementary working tips without instrument exchange, improving efficiency in procedures that alternate between dissection and elevation. The 22 cm overall length offers reach into deeper or narrow cavities while maintaining tactile feedback. The fine dissecting end facilitates precise separation of tissue planes and controlled blunt dissection, while the spoon-style elevator end distributes force over a broader surface for periosteal or soft-tissue elevation and levering without focal trauma.
