Horsley Dura Dissector 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical procedures that require delicate manipulation of the dura mater, this instrument is used to elevate, mobilize, and separate the dura from bone, grafts, or underlying cortex. It is appropriate for cranial and select spinal dural work where controlled blunt dissection and tactile feedback reduce the risk of dural tears. Typical uses include dural reflection during craniotomy, freeing adhesions around the dural edge, and preparing dural margins for suturing or graft placement.

Design & Configuration

The slender 20 cm shaft provides reach across standard cranial exposures while keeping the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. The fine spatulated/blunt tip geometry offers a broad contact surface for atraumatic lifting of the dura, minimizing point pressure that can cause tears. The hand-held single-ended configuration favors precise manual control during microdissection and when working adjacent to neurovascular structures.
