Clinical Application
This instrument serves as a fine spatula and dilator for controlled, atraumatic manipulation of delicate tissue planes and small luminal openings. The small 3 x 1.5 mm tip is sized for precision work in confined operative fields where gentle separation of intimal or mucosal layers, controlled dilation of narrow ostia, or guidance of wires and cannulae is required. Typical uses include microsurgical dissections, fine mucosal or submucosal elevation, and procedures that benefit from a combined spatula/dilator to reduce instrument exchanges.
Design & Configuration
The combined spatula-and-dilator geometry provides a blunt, narrowly profiled working tip for both elevation and progressive dilation. A 24 cm shaft length offers extended reach into deeper cavities or through small surgical corridors while maintaining tactile feedback at the tip. The small rectangular/oval tip footprint allows focused pressure distribution to minimize tissue trauma during dilation or plane separation, and the single-instrument combination reduces procedural steps and instrument passes in delicate cases.
