Schmid Vascular Spatula S/E blunt 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate blunt dissection and controlled tissue separation in vascular and related general surgical procedures. The instrument is used to create and expand tissue planes, mobilize and elevate vessel segments, and provide gentle retraction of delicate structures where sharp dissection is not required. Its low-profile geometry assists in working within confined operative fields common to peripheral vascular, carotid, and access-site exposures.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended blunt spatula features a flat, atraumatic tip profile that distributes pressure across a wider surface to minimize focal trauma to vessel walls and surrounding tissues. The 14 cm overall length provides a balance between reach and control for use in both superficial and deeper exposures. The blade geometry permits controlled sweeping motions for blunt plane development and for teasing tissue away from vessels without cutting.
