Microscopic Dissecting Knife Fig.2

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled sharp dissection under an operating microscope, this instrument is intended to perform precise cuts and separations of delicate tissues and membranes. Common applications include membrane peeling, capsular or epiretinal dissection in ophthalmology, fine arachnoid or adhesiolysis work in neurosurgery, and intricate soft-tissue dissection in ENT and reconstructive microsurgery. The low-profile, fine-point blade allows surgeons to work adjacent to critical structures while minimizing collateral trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Fig.2 profile presents a low‑mass, fine-point cutting tip mounted on a slim shank to maximize visual access and tactile feedback at high magnification. This geometry reduces blockage of the optical field and enables short, precise strokes. The shaft and handle balance support steady hand positioning and delicate rotational movements required in microsurgical planes. A sharp, consistently honed edge facilitates clean tissue separation with minimal crushing or tearing.
